A direct requirement of the C&C model.

} B cannot start processing until A compleats.
} C may start processing before B compleats.
Some questions:
1) Event C calls a method on objectY, which calls a method on objectZ, which
calls a method on objectX. How will you handle?
2) You mention events that are the result of commands.
What about events that result from mob programs, user-written scrips, etc.?
3) Consider the following sequence of commands:
[Bubba is naked, has 1 HP left]
#100> north
You enter the dragon's cave.
There's a sleeping dragon here.
There's the magical amulet of invulnerability here.
#101> get amulet
#102> kill dragon
Serialization is needed. How will you handle?
Have fun,
Alex.
