Citing from `man fstab`

The order of records in fstab is important because fsck(8), mount(8),
and umount(8) sequentially iterate through fstab doing their thing.

and `man mount`

The command

          mount -a [-t type] [-O optlist]

(usually given in a bootscript) causes all filesystems mentioned in
fstab ([...]) to be mounted as indicated, except for those whose line
contains the noauto keyword.

This makes me believe that lines are guaranteed to be done in order but
I admit there is still a bit of ambiguity.

Hope this helps,
