from servlet spec 2.4

SRV.9.12 Web Application Deployment
When a web application is deployed into a container, the following steps must be
performed, in this order, before the web application begins processing client
requests.
� Instantiate an instance of each event listener identified by a <listener> element
in the deployment descriptor.
� For instantiated listener instances that implement ServletContextListener,
call the contextInitialized() method.
� Instantiate an instance of each filter identified by a <filter> element in the deployment
descriptor and call each filter instance�s init() method.
� Instantiate an instance of each servlet identified by a <servlet> element that
includes a <load-on-startup> element in the order defined by the load-onstartup
element values, and call each servlet instance�s init() method.

so in your case, it should be:
1, 3, 4, 2
