What is DAG ordering of structs?

Each struct and its referenced fields can be thought of as a graph which can be sorted. Ideally, it is a DAG, but sometimes you can have recursive structures so it can be a cyclic graph. By DAG-ordering a I meant a topological sorting such that you do it by layers of the graph.

DAG is directed acyclic graph. A bit like a tree where branches are allowed to merge but there are no cycles.

		Yes, but I was wondering how organize your code in a DAG.
