Question

For Ruby on Rails, when we run the "rails server" (or script / server), what is the sequence of events?

I know that environment.rb, environments/development.rb, initializers/foobar.rbwill be launched one after another, and in this order (as I put some print statements to the beginning of the file and view the sequence).

Besides these files, which files are launched or viewed, and in what order (update: and why is this happening?) When we start the Rails server?
