What it sounds like you're really asking in the latest part of this thread is for every object in a given runtime to track the messages called upon it with a time stamp in order to compare those for an exact ordering of calls conducive to your needs.

That COULD be useful, but it would be really resource-intensive, especially in a heavy-object-usage process if turned on for every object, but it could be turned on only for objects of a particular class in your scenario.
