The order of the steps in your pipeline document doesn't actually have
any relationship with the order of the steps in your pipeline. (That's
not true if you rely on defaulting, but if you fully qualified
everything, you could put sibling steps in any order you wanted and it
wouldn't make any difference.)

The "No roots in myPipeline" message means that Calabash tried to analyze
the graph to figure out where the flow begins. It should only occur
if you have a loop in your pipeline.

However, I don't see a loop in here:

So it must be a bug. I'll take a look.
