Normally patch sequencing (and patch targeting) are done when building the MSPs
themselves by manipulating their applicability (targeting) and sequencing
(patchfamily) metadata.
In your MBA you can only control what users do using your bundle, you cannot
control what they do by using alternate means of accessing the Windows
Installer APIs. Controls there would, once again, have to be contained in your
MSPs.
RelatedBundle is used to associate (in various ways) other "Burn" bundle
packages so that already installed bundles "know" about them once installed, or
alternately are removed, as configured.
OnDetectTargetMsiPackage and OnPlanTargetMsiPackage are used to allow you to
gather and control if any given MSP will be added/removed from any given MSI,
so you have the info needed to ensure that things are not installed/removed
out-of-order. The actual order-of-application/removal if multiple MSPs are
selected is determined by Windows Installer using the MSP's own sequencing
metadata (which requires Windows Installer 3.0 or greater).
