Debian already solves this through a rename hack. For

virtualhost is named 000-default so that it gets loaded first.
Similarly, I've had to rename module links so they are loaded before
others (dav before svn). It's fairly straight forward and once you have a
lot of modules or vhosts, you'd curse every time you opened a 5,000+ line
conf file.
I don't think that is a good solution. Because inserting / moving a
vhost in-between requires a rename chain and multiple filename renames
probably are not atomic. Can one make multiple renames in one kind of
transaction (locking the dir, multirename, unlocking)? I don't have any
troubles opening single 350 line conf file in vim (with syntax
highlighting) and after copy / cut / paste, storing the "monolithic"
vhosts.conf file is atomic (like transaction).
