This order is only "correct" if overriding is what you want.
That's not always going to be the case. The mixin might be
intended to supply default functionality that can be
overridden by the classes it's being mixed into. You
can't say that one order is more correct than the other
in general.

To me it's more like adding seasoning to a dish. Normally
you put the main ingredient in first, then add the salt
and pepper. This is probably the way most people are
thinking when they write the mixins after the main base
class.
