Nick,
FWIW, we write most of our nginx modules as Lua modules now.  Sometimes almost all of the module is actually in C.  We can control the exact order per request using Lua.  

Contrived example:

local foo = require 'nginx.foo_filter'
local bar = require 'nginx.bar_filter'

if something then
  return run_filters(ngx, { foo, bar })
else 
  return run_filters(ngx, { bar, foo})
end
