I here ya, I have had problems also. Ironic, apache 2.x was supposed to
simplify this issue:

From the Apache 2.0 New Features doc:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/new_features_2_0.html

New Apache API
    The API for modules has changed significantly for 2.0. Many of the 
module-ordering/-priority problems from 1.3 should be gone. 2.0 does 
much of this automatically, and module ordering is now done per-hook to 
allow more flexibility. Also, new calls have been added that provide 
additional module capabilities without patching the core Apache server.
