As a far as I understand, this behaviour is actually compliant with the Opentype specifications and is quite widespread among typesetting engines and so it is not (only) Fontforge's fault; but, needless to say, it is nevertheless annoying. (In more crude terms: Opentype does not specify anything in that respect, so manufacturers of typesetting software can do whatever they want ...)
The specification says that lookups should be applied in LookupList order. Featurefiles don't have an explicit ordering command, but that does not mean that ordering should be irrelevant. So I think this is a bug in the version of fontforge I am using in luatex. I will do some testing. Best wishes, Taco
