 * <p>
 * As with standard {@link Configuration @Configuration} classes, the order in which
 * auto-configuration classes are applied only affects the order in which their beans are
 * defined. The order in which those beans are subsequently created is unaffected and is
 * determined by each bean's dependencies and any {@link DependsOn @DependsOn}
 * relationships.
