Obviously enough, if you don't have the slice module compiled in, 
trying to use module order relative to it won't work - because 
there is no slice module.  You have to configure order related to 
other modules as well.

Another problem is that ngx_module_order is only used for dynamic 
loading.  If you are trying to build a static module, 
ngx_module_order won't work for you.  And since the slice module 
is a low-level module specifically positioned in the filter chain, 
there is no equivalent module type.
