Dll boot order

If I have a global variable in A.dll that depends on a global variable in B.dll, is loading of B.dll before A.dll guaranteed? I created two sample dll projects in Visual Studio and linked A.dll to B.dll, and it seems that B.dll is loading first. So is this behavior ensured?

This behavior is guaranteed by the operating system, because otherwise it would be impossible to write the correct dll-loading code. In particular, if A.dll imports B.dll , then when the dynamic linker tries to load A.dll , it will first see this dependency and the load of B.dll .
