I have no mechanism for specifying an absolute order. I calculate the
partial order by
topological sort and then an arbitrary total order based order in the
Framework.

It sounds like what we should really do is have a configure module that
sets up logging,
and that modules who want to use logging depend on. Then petscdir would
make that
module depend on itself.
