I am trying to build modular plugins as optional extensions to my plugin. IS there a way to check in one plugin that another exists? For example load routes only if class exists? it’s problematic because I don’t know if plugins are loaded in a specific order?

This makes snese, but two new questions come up one I’m gonna play with right now. What happens if I load a plugin that doesnt exist (answer to this in couple of minutes) Answer: nothing happens - it returns false. very good. how do I prevent my plugin from stopping other plugins from loading? …
