msbuild-task

I got this from here.

<ItemGroup>
    <SolutionToBuild Include="$(SolutionRoot)\path\MySolution.sln />
    <SolutionToBuild Include="$(SolutionRoot)\Scribble\scribble.sln" />
    <SolutionToBuild Include="$(SolutionRoot)\HelloWorld\HelloWorld.sln" />
    <SolutionToBuild Include="$(SolutionRoot)\TestProject1\TestProject1.sln" />
</ItemGroup>

It says that the sequence of the build is determined by the order above. So, for example, MySolution would be built before scribble. However, is this safe if scribble is dependant on MySolution? If MySolution and scribble are changed simultaneously, will the build wait for MySolution to be completely compiled before moving to the next project?
