How about an explicit "seq" object/function, which simply chains 
functions and/or operations together in sequence. That way sequencing is 
enforced in the code by the language's semantics, and anyone reading the 
code will understand that the sequencing was made explicit for a reason. 
It's a more explicit marker than comments.
