Have a look at the script. It starts with:

# PROVIDE: squid
# REQUIRE: DAEMON
# KEYWORD: shutdown

rcorder(8) uses these lines to figure out the dependency ordering.

/etc/rc.d/DAEMON requires NETWORKING SERVERS.

And /etc/rc.d/SERVERS requires mountcritremote.

/etc/rc.d/mountcritremote requires NETWORKING root mountcritlocal.

Anyways, the filesystems get mounted by the time "squid" script is ran.
Pretty cool :)
