Nothing that I know of. You can kind of figure such things out by 
loading the misc/dump-events script. That script dumps out the events 
that are processed in the order that they are processed. If you use that 
with a fairly minimal pcap file, it is not too hard to figure out what 
is going on.

In addition to that, for use-cases that are a bit outside of the norm, 
you might always still have to look at what exactly the base script for 
the protocol that you are interested in is doing.
