Dependencies determine the order.  By convention, we start with the
meta/lnx-bbc package.  Building this package causes the production of
an LNX-BBC ISO image, and in order to do so initiates (by way of its
dependencies) the build processes for all of the software in the
image.  I advise creating a package which serves a similar purpose for
your project.
