Static initialization blocks are associated to classes. They are run 
when the class is loaded. So it depends on the order classes are loaded 
in your program (it's the order in which you instantiate them).

public class A {
	static {
		System.out.println("A loading");
		B b = new B();
		System.out.println("A loaded");
	}
}

public class B {
	static {
		System.out.println("B loading");
		A a = new A();
		System.out.println("B loaded");
	}
}

public class C {
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		A a = new A();
// Prints:
// A loading
// B loading
// B loaded
// A loaded
	}

}

public class D {
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		B b = new B();
// Prints:
// B loading
// A loading
// A loaded
// B loaded
	}

}
