In general loading modules on top of other etc are managed by
modprobe.conf. If you want to make sure that whenever "second" is
loaded "first" comes first do

install second { /sbin/modprobe install; /sbin/modprobe first; } ; /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install second
remove second /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove second && { /sbin/modprobe -r install; /sbin/modprobe -r first; /bin/true; }

As long as the questions can be answered it's OK ;)
