Hi Paul,
Thank you for the in depth answer, I think everyone will appreciate such a thorough explanation of JQuery deferred object execution order.
To answer your question as to what was not working for me, it was simply the fact that I was expecting the following execution order.
And about my code. It is a bit more complex than my simple example. I have a function that builds up a promise object based on the needs of various custom JS components on a SP page. I do this because sometimes the components want information from the same lists and libraries, so instead of them calling SPServices directly they receive a promise and wait for it to resolve. Since I expected completefunc() to execute first, it made for some weird results.
Once again that you for the awesome examples.
Ricardo
