    Are the attributes ReadOnly and WriteOnly somehow used to determine the order of execution of jobs? Are they used to determine data dependency or the order of execution is just the order of the jobs scheduled?

    Both. All writes go first in a presumably deterministic order, followed by all the reads

    OK a combination of both the strategies seem the only way to handle all the possible cases
