The problem was resolved. Thanks to Stef and Marianno for their effort to look at the code.�
The package was actually loaded in two configurations and I was not calling requires: in all locations (duplicate code is bad even in configuration ;-). So, a bit of cleanup resolved the problem.�

Good thing is that now I know about this directive that helps debugging package loading.

((ConfigurationOfMantisDemo loadDev)
�record) loadDirective.

As Stef said, it should work. I don't see anything weird.
Try to PRINT (as Stef said) the result of doing a #record instead of a #load and see what is being load and in which order.

Now, when I try to load this configuration, it fails to properly load the package BBB (there are some missing classes) with this msg:

This package depends on the following classes:

� A class in package AAA

You must resolve these dependencies before you will be able to load these definitions:�A class in package BBB.

It seems that there is a way to load packages in a linear order (http://code.google.com/p/metacello/wiki/FAQ#Controlling_Package_Initialization_Order). However, my project defaults is already set to linear and after reading this post my problem is not resolved.�

Can anyone help me how I can enforce package AAA to load before BBB?
