Well, it is in the manual you stared at ....  However, for Fortran the 
order of compilation never matters.   If you have Fortran90 modules, it 
may and that is why Makefiles can have dependencies.

1) You can set OBJECTS to set the order.

2) To avoid problems with parallel makes you should set dependencies, e.g.

constants.o: error_handler.o

or more likely some module file.

Beyond that, R-devel is indeed not the place for a tutorial on Makefiles 
and compilation.
