multiple event sheet execution order

Just wondering what the process is when including multiple event sheets in a layout.

Do the included event sheets run simultaneously from top to bottom or are the events of any sheets after the first sheet essentially added onto the first sheet which is then read from top to bottom?

That's actually incorrect, it's more complicated than that.

In general you should not make events that depend on this, because you end up running down the rabbit hole of internal engine details, and if you rely on it your events will be hard to understand, break easily if changed, and possibly break if internal engine details change in future.

But if you really want to know how it works, just make a test project that has some events and see what order the events run in, like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kr4kilz4rxx4s8s/include-sequencing.c3p?dl=0

As this project demonstrates, triggers actually run in most-nested event sheet to least-nested, whereas normal events run at the point the include is reached when running events, producing a nested ordering depending on whether the events precede or follow the include.

As I said... it's probably unwise to use this though.

Thanks for the info and demo project!

I'm not relying on anything to do with this in a project, I just wanted to get a better understanding of how the engine handled multiple sheets.

Thanks for filling me in
