Within the examples, 00 is the root service that all other services
depend on. Either through an explicit dependency call (like
mount-proc) or through a bundle dependency (anything depending on
ok-local will transitively depend on 00 since an explicit dependency
on a bundle is an implicit dependency on every member of that bundle)

A slight correction, rc-init doesn't run anything, it handles
preparing the service tree. s6-rc change $SERVICE does the actual
work. When s6-rc-compile packs the compiled form of the service
directory it creates a stable ordering based on the dependency
callouts. In the case of two services with equal weight (like if
longrunA depends on oneshot1 and oneshot2, and both oneshots have no
dependencies), s6-rc will run both nominally in parallel when it comes
time to bring up the supervision tree. The only way to get the
ordering that you describe, where s6-rc launches one service and then
waits for the exit code before launching the second, is to have an
explicit dependency called out in the second service.

For the most part yes. You can't have a service that says that it
needs to run before another, but a dependency callout will guarantee
that the listed services are started before the service defining those
dependencies.
