I'm totally lost on this line of thought.
How is it possible that any function f-b could execute before
f-a completes.

(f-a)
(f-b)

Your statement implies that the advice on f-a (i.e. f-c)
somehow won't execute until after f-b completes.

(defadvise foo (after f-b) (f-c))
(f-a)
(f-b)

Otherwise what's the point of needing advise?
You could just put the functionality of f-c in f-b
(which is what the OP said didn't work).
