A method for initializing a module that includes identifying a first module for initialization, and performing a plurality of processing phases on the first module and all modules in a dependency graph of the first module. Performing the plurality of processing phases includes, for each module, executing a processing phase of the plurality of processing phases on the module, determining whether the processing phase has been executed on all modules in a dependency graph of the module, and when the processing phase has been executed for all modules in the dependency graph of the module, executing a subsequent processing phase of the plurality of processing phases on the module.
