No---at least the current draft doesn't specify one, keeping with
Scheme's tradition here.
Actually, it does give an order. "Parent init expressions, if any,
are evaluated before child init expressions."

I don't think there's a way to get one.
It depends on whether or not the 'init' expressions count
as initializing the records.
By the way, in what context are the <constructor argument>s in
(parent <parent name> <constructor argument> *)
evaluated? Specifically, do they have any access to the values
passed to the subtype constructor?
