Vala and Snapcraft. Issues with a library part in Vala.

[Joe Talbott]

I think you'll want something along the lines of:

parts:
    mylib-x:
        ...
    mylib-y:
        ...
        after: [mylib-x]

This will include both mylib-x and mylib-y in your snap and ensure
that mylib-x is built before mylib-y is.
