I believe there is a bug the sorting routine in
custom-theme-set-variables. The comparision of two symbols does not
take the dependency list in account if the symbols compared are not
mentioned in their dependency list. However that breaks, eh, what do
you call it ..., transity.
In other words if one of the two symbols compared has a dependency
list and the other not then the first symbols must be sorted after the
second. It should look something like this:
;; Move minor modes and variables with explicit requires to the end.
(setq args
(sort args
(lambda (a1 a2)
(let* ((sym1 (car a1))
(sym2 (car a2))
(dep1 (get sym1 'custom-dependencies))
(dep2 (get sym2 'custom-dependencies))
(1-then-2 (memq sym1 dep2))
(2-then-1 (memq sym2 dep1)))
(cond ((and 1-then-2 2-then-1)
(error "Circular custom dependency between `%s' and `%s'"
sym1 sym2))
(2-then-1 nil)
;; 1 is a dependency of 2, so needs to be set first.
1-then-2
;; Put minor modes and symbols with :require last.
;; Putting minor modes last ensures that the mode
;; function will see other customized values rather
;; than default values.
(t (or (and dep2 (not dep1))
(nth 3 a2)
(eq (get sym2 'custom-set)
'custom-set-minor-mode))))))))

Does still happen? Do you have a recipe to show the problem, starting
with "emacs -Q"?

I do not know if it still happens. Has it been fixed somehow?
It is rather cumbersome to make an example for this. Is there anything
unclear with my explanation?

Plenty, but if you cannot bother giving a test case or even testing
whether the bug is still extant, I don't know why anyone should bother
trying to fix it.

I think you are exaggerating. I have explained the problem in detail
and I also gave some code that fixes the problem. As I remember it I
already use this in EmacsW32+Emacs for a long time.
If anyone is interested in fixing this (I would be glad) then look at
the code I have supplied to understand the problem better. Thanks.

Code, and not a patch, that fixes one problem that you haven't clearly
explained, and for which you haven't provided a step-by-step recipe.

I am sorry you think so. Perhaps you can ask more specific questions
about the explanation I tried to give?

What's not specific in "please provide a step-by-step recipe of the
bug, starting from emacs -Q, explaining what do you see and what did
you expect to see"? Is not like I'm requesting something weird, that's
the standard procedure for any bug report (not that you follow it, of
course).

It is not at all related to the information I have given.

Lennart, apparently you don't understand how to make a bug report or
you refuse to do so. Good luck with your bug reports.

Maybe someone else understand what I have written and care to fix the problem.

This simply is not comprehensible without a recipe that shows the
problem. I do not believe anyone could or should do anything without
such, therefore I am closing it. If you reply with a recipe that shows
the problem, the report can be reopened. From the Emacs manual
"Checklist for Bug Reports":
And if we can't understand what bug you are trying to fix, or why
your patch should be an improvement, we mustn't install it.

Could you please read the second paragraph of the bug report? Here it
is again, a bit rephrased:
if the first of the two symbol compared has a dependency
list and the seond not have that, then the first symbol must
be sorted after the second.
I sent this bug report more than two years ago, but as I remember it
now the sort function did not properly do the comparison if one of the
symbols lacked a dependency list.
This is what I tried to fix in the code. And I think this is the code
I once implemented in my patched version of Emacs+EmacsW32. (I might
have done some changes later, the code is on the web.)
