How about splitting the $subsystem_init() function from the function
marked as __constructor__: let the constructor function register the
$subsystem_init() function as a callback passing either a simple
integral priority or (even better, but not sure if this is
overengeneering) some representation of the dependencies - then
(topological) sort all registered callbacks and call them one after the
other.
