Problem with ordering of modules in IHS 1x

Hi,
 
I am having a problem with the ordering of modules with IHS, based upon Apache1x.
I have two modules which have their functions scheduled to be executed during the same phase (Check Access).
The functions get executed in a reverse order than the one I intend to. The same is true even if I swap the positions of loading the modules in the httpd.conf file.
 
Is there a way by which I could explicitly specify the order of execution of the functions in the same phase vis-à-vis other modules having functions defined for the execution in the same phase? Basically I want to execute my function at the end of a particular phase (check access), so that even if there are other modules defining function for check access phase, my function gets executed at last. Is there a way out to do this?
 
I know there is a way to do that with Apache2x/IHS 2x, but my problem is related to IHS 1x/Apache 1x.
 
Thanks,
Swapan.

Do you have just LoadModule for the modules, or LoadModule and ClearModuleList 
and AddModule?  If your config file has

<series of LoadModule directives>

ClearModuleList

<series of AddModule directives>

then the order of the LoadModule directives doesn't matter and instead the 
order of the AddModule matters.

no, in Apache 1.3 the order of LoadModule or AddModule determines the order in 
which the hooks will be called
