It is not clear to me that that "so" statement is true. Have you documentation to show that it is?

What control do you want, specifically? My reading suggests that the "static" module order is "from the ./configure line, --add-module order", and the "dynamic" module order is "from the nginx.conf file, load_module order", where the dynamic modules have the option to list which named modules they should run before. (And: order is only relevant within the same phase; you did mention that already.) If you want more control than that, you may want to ship an nginx binary configured the way you want it, without load_module support. (And you probably don't want to do that.) > * How to control the order of execution between the dynamic stock module and > my dynamic module. As the developer, I think that you do not know which stock modules are dynamic. But you do know the names of the (current) stock modules. If you want to be "after" a stock module, "load_module" after it in nginx.conf. If you want to be "before" a stock module, set your ngx_module_order to your name then the stock module name. > * How to control the order of execution between the dynamic stock module and > my static module. You don't. You will be "before" (absent circumstances you can't control). > * How to control the order of execution between my dynamic non-stock modules > and my dynamic modules. (Corrected to remove the first "my".) load_module order, unless you-or-they know each other's names and set ngx_module_order; in that case, whichever was last in load_module gets to be before whichever names they nominate. > * How to control the order of execution between dynamic non-stock modules and > my static modules. Same as dynamic stock module, except you probably do not know their names in advance. > * How to control the order of execution between static stock modules and my > dynamic modules. You will be "after", unless you set your ngx_module_order. > * How to control the order of execution between static stock modules and my > static modules. ./configure order. > Regarding the last question, have I looked at > https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,246978,246999#msg-246999 and can the > answers there be used to control the order between the static stock modules > and my static modules? > I suspect that what is there is still fundamentally correct, yes.
