From the event time order you are totally correct, but viewed from firing assign methods they are different.
Property values set at design time even at instance levels bypass assign methods,
whereas assign methods are fired also from form.load and form.init (as they should be IMHO).

So building a generic "PropertyFirstSetValue" bag structure via assign methods (for each property, but calling a app-global check/set routine) is also possible, as well as a "PropertyFirstSetValue" gatherer, which has to be called as the first line in the load with a list of property names.
