Re: am I understand the tree properly?

if a file shows as a dependency via the tree, then it's parent should wait
for it to be ready.

What do you mean by out of order?
Not the order you expect?
or is a dependency not being met and a builder being run before it's
sources are ready?

You can use "--taskmastertrace=FILE" arg to scons to dump debug info on the
processing of the dependency tree.
But I'd be very surprised if there was a bug there.

A common error is to put call a builder/Command() with target and source
arguments in the wrong order.

Or is it that the file which isn't ready yet is one which is found via a
scanner (for example an included header file)?

Also.. if you set a Dir() as a source, it will not be out of date if it's
contents change.
