DAW song doesn't reload settings correctly.

Hello!
I just found something out that I thought I should share.
I was helping Johan sort out a problem whereby presets would save and load correctly, but when changes were made to a complex wave selector in the DAW, and the song was saved, upon re-opening the song the wave selection was wrong.
It took a long time to establish that, so it would seem, the DAW doesn’t necessarily re-load the parameters in the same order as the Preset Manager would. Of course, for pretty much every control this wouldn’t matter, but for this particular system the order was critical.
I messed around using After Load prims and so on, but the solution was to add a small delay to 2 of the parameters, to get the sequence correct.
The lesson I learned is to check if changes are restored when a song is reloaded and, if not, pay attention to any control system which may depend upon the loading order.
Cheers
