Load order faces-config.xml

Question

I've got the following code:
User.java
     public User() {
          userData = ( UserData ) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap().get("userData");
     }EMailCenter.java
public EMailCenter() {
          userData = ( UserData ) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap().get("userData");
          The problem: userData is accessed correctly in User.java and in EMailCenter I get an invalid object. My faces-config.xml looks like this:
<faces-config>
     <managed-bean>
          <managed-bean-name>user</managed-bean-name>
          <managed-bean-class>jsf.User</managed-bean-class>
          <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
     </managed-bean>
     <managed-bean>
          <managed-bean-name>userData</managed-bean-name>
          <managed-bean-class>jsf.UserData</managed-bean-class>
          <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
     </managed-bean>
     <managed-bean>
          <managed-bean-name>emailcenter</managed-bean-name>
          <managed-bean-class>jsf.EMailCenter</managed-bean-class>
          <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
     </managed-bean>
        ...I'm not shure but I think that EMailCenter is loaded before the userData object is created when starting the web application. So is it possible to tell Tomcat in which order it should create the objects? Or is it another problem?

You can also consider to inject the userData bean as managed property of the other beans.
