Given the immense information you provided:
$ apt-get -s install A B | awk '/^Inst / {print $2}'
A
C
B
Assuming that these "packages" are available in a repository known to APT
(or at least in a format it could understand), that we are on a system where
apt-get is available (=nothing for upstream if existent), that the solution
should depend on the current system (which could be avoided) and that
unpack order is your "dependency order" - configure order (^Conf) would be
the other possibility but i would prefer if dpkg can work this out for you as
it does for me so far (man apt.conf - PackageManager::Configure "smart")
(assuming that we are talking about installing with dpkg at all).
