If you want to have control over the initialization order, you need to set auto_ifconfig=NO.  On one of my systems that has a bunch of Qemu VMs:

auto_ifconfig=NO
net_interfaces="tap0 tap1 tap2 tap3 tap4 tap5 tap6 tap7 tap8 tap9 tap10 tap11 bridge0”

…otherwise I was having the problem of bridge0 being brought up before the tap devices were created.
