My really simple solution was to insert a single fanout record with
PINI=1 that forced all of the necessary records to process in the
correct order.  That fanout record served no other purpose, which kept
the system logically clean. Ultimately, there was a whole tree of fanout
records, but they were all controlled by the one at the root of the
tree.
Cheers,
Russell O. Redman
