I don't think you can do more than force the Finder and the system to start
the scripts in the right order. But all are started and run, giving up
time now and then, without waiting for any to finish. I don't think the
ordering of the stuff within each script versus the others is
deterministic. If two things need to be done in a given order, I think you
have to put them into the same script.
All the above comes from thinking about your question, not experiments.
