Oh, I actually did intend to make an example which contains no bare commands
oudside the <commands /> node but then forgot to remove it when copying from
the previous example I've made...

Anyway the correct order in this case would be as follows:
- install1.cmd
- prepare1.cmd
- prepare2.cmd
- install.cmd
- cleanup.cmd

If the "oudside" command includes other command types then these are always
inserted first as well:

     <package id='pidgin' name='Pidgin IM' revision='2.10.0'>
       <commands>
         <command type="install" include='prepare' />
         <command type="install" cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\install.cmd"' />
         <command type="install" include='cleanup' />

         <command type="remove" include='prepare' />
         <command type="remove" cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\remove.cmd"' />
         <command type="remove" include='cleanup' />

         <command type="upgrade" cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\upgrade.cmd"' />

         <command type="downgrade" cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\downgrade.cmd"' />

         <command type="prepare" cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\prepare1.cmd"' />
         <command type="prepare" cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\prepare2.cmd"' />

         <command type="cleanup" cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\cleanup.cmd"' />
       </commands>
       <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\install1.cmd"' />
       <install include="prepare" />
     </package>

Would execute the following
- install1.cmd
- prepare1.cmd (included from outside <install />)
- prepare2.cmd (included from outside <install />)
- prepare1.cmd (included from inside <command type="install" />)
- prepare2.cmd (included from inside <command type="install" />)
- install.cmd
- cleanup.cmd (included from inside <command type="install" />)

So as you can see you can even include "inside"-commands from
"outside"-commands if you like.

Another note: The "type" attribute is ignored for "outside"-commands so even if
you specify
<install type="remove" cmd="..." />
it will execute during installation.
