No need to tell the user to have sexual intercourse with self, really.
In practice, this isn't ever a requirement. The only reason why you
order services in the first place is that you want init to wait for one
to finish starting up before it attempts another, and the only reason
for that is that one depends on the other. Note that most services are
not prioritized in your runlevel dirs, only a few, and those are the
ones that have interdependencies. So if you set them up to run in
different orders in different runlevels, things would most likely break.
