Hi Mark, I don't think there is any guarantee for ordering in Maven. The dependencies are not ordered, the plugins in the build section are not ordered. I remember that with a Java upgrade the plugins were executed in a different ordering due to a new implementation of HashMap. (Only the plugins in the same phase in a lifecycle, of course). The only thing ordered are the phases in the lifecycle.
I think it would be more feasible to make sure you don't have dependencies with overlapping classes (you can use the Maven Enforcer Plugin for that[1]). If you really need those 2 dependencies on the classpath, maybe you can try something with the Maven Shade Plugin, to give one of those dependencies their unique package names[2].
