Actually, farmconfig.php gets loaded even if you're not running a farm
(and if it exists), thus the sequence is:
    pmwiki.php
      scripts/version.php
      local/farmconfig.php
      local/config.php
      scripts/stdconfig.php

Exactly.

Just for completeness, here's the sequence for someone running a field
in a WikiFarm:

    fieldwiki.php
      $FarmD/pmwiki.php
        $FarmD/scripts/version.php
        $FarmD/local/farmconfig.php
        local/config.php
        $FarmD/scripts/stdconfig.php

Note that pmwiki.php automatically figures out the value of $FarmD from 
the first include of pmwiki.php--it typically doesn't need to be set.
