Hmm. two thoughts:

1) Why don't you just call the code instead of loose-coupling it? It 
might be less beautiful. But "perverting" the event system isn't 
beautiful either. The ideas you had would complicate things a great 
deal, I believe.

2) What about splitting your functionality - SomeEvent, and 
SomeEventWorker. So SomeEvent-handler simply adds SomeEventWorker to the 
queue. By the time that has been done, the ValidationAndPopulateEvent is 
already in the queue and will be processed first.
