For the most part, each bucket gets it's own isolated environment. We have
the concept of a 'sandbox' which starts up MySQL, memcache, and whatever else
we might need. That does a pretty good job of keeping *bad* tests from
impacting others without taking too much extra execution time.

They are executed in the order they are defined... metaclass magic :)

Of course if you start including mixins and what-not the order isn't as
obvious... but it's at least deterministic.
