Succession of command (5)
I believe the answer is:
order
I believe this is a double definition.
'succession' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'command' is the second definition.
(I know that order is a type of command)
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for order that I've seen before include "Direct - class - instruction" , "Decree" , "Type of column" , "Uniformity or fraternity" , "Command; social class" .)
