I would deploy tomcat with Jboss and use jboss deployer where you can choose

There is no guarantee regarding the start order of webapps. This is
primarily due to the threaded nature of tomcat. Your best bet is to
have the dependent webapp(s) intelligently handle the case where the
first one isn't available yet. It'll make for a much more robust and
scaleable design.
