Ordering of field/method injection in the presence of subclassing?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The spec for @Inject says: "Constructors are injected first, followed by
fields, and then methods. Fields and methods in superclasses are injected
before those in subclasses."

Maybe it's just me, but I am unsure about the intended ordering in the
presence of inheritance and both injectable methods and fields. Given a
class A and a class B that extends A, it is not clear if the order of
injection is fields(A),methods(A),fields(B),methods(B) or
fields(A),fields(B),methods(A),methods(B).

"Fields *and* methods in superclasses are injected before those in subclasses." 
This 
means that both fields and methods in a superclass will be injected before 
fields or 
methods in a subclass.

Methods from A overridden by B belong to B and are therefore invoked after 
injecting fields in B, right?

Correct.
