There is no way to control the order packages in a requirements file are
installed. I'm not sure of the correct parsing of your final sentence,
but if you mean that some of these packages have dependencies listed in
setup.py that you don't want pip to try to fulfill automatically, I
recommend using the --no-deps option.
