I added this to the Introduction on the wiki page:
MODx delivers a page by returning the output of an object. As a developer, you may find it useful in understanding what order this process is executed in.
This information is relevant for MODx 0.9.1 - 0.9.5
The future of MODx holds many significant and beneficial changes. To quote one of our founding fathers, OpenGeek:
"That’s fine to post this kind of stuff in the wiki; but, keep in mind, the changes coming down the pipe are going to significantly change this internal processing model."
Remember that clear planning should make transition into the as of yet unfinished specification of MODx 1.0 a trivial task. Please develop your applications with this in mind while using the guide below.
If any team member has any additions or suggestions, please add them. Thank you Susan for the time you have spent tinkering with this app and understanding how it works. You are a tremendous resource here.
