More what I had in mind though is:

processAuxiliaryDatabaseObjects(...);
// type definitions are independent
processTypeDefinitions(...);
// filters potentially depend on type definitions
processFilterDefinitions(...);
// id gen definitions potentially depend on type definitions
processIdentifierGenerators(...);

The stuff you are mentioning is mainly what John has been working on

I called this kind of configuration "global configuration" in contrast to
"entity configuration".
Not sure whether this a good term or not.
Btw, I am on a dropzone until Tuesday w/ limited connectivity.
