To be clear the order they fire relative to each other is not important?

Sort of, though I am still not entirely what the whole process is trying
to achieve. What the mix of deferred and un-deferred triggers and
'logical' and housekeeping functions are doing is not clear to me. That
is why I suggested a schematic representation of the trigger flow would
be helpful. Leave out the fine details and create a flow chart of what
you want to happen.
