The generated code *should* call things in the right order. The 
QtMultimediaWidgets code will be called before the QtWidgets code. It 
should only call the code in the first place if it doesn't know of any 
existing Python object that wraps the graphics item. Assuming that all 
your graphics items have been created then Python then that suggests 
there is an object ownership problem with graphics items and scenes. 
(Looking at it briefly the handling of item groups looks a little 
strange.) I would need an example to investigate it properly.
