Yes, the loading of the applications is done sequentially. It reads the
domain.xml for application entries which are relevant to this instance,
and load them one by one sequentially.

There is no official mechanism to control the ordering of the web app
deployment. However, in the current implementation, the applications
will be loaded by the order they were deployed. So if app1 is deployed
to DAS first (which means the application entry for it will be inserted
before app2), it should be loaded first.
