Marco,
this cannot be done with standard methods. In general, you can *assume* that
the browser starts the applets in the sequence it finds them in the HTML, but
it's not guaranteed. Without special tricks that won't work with most browsers
(like JSObject, maybe) you are not able to influence anything the browser has
to do. The only thing that springs to mind is a timeout in the frame which
contains the applet that should come second. You can load an interim page with
a timeout in that frame which then gives way to the "real" page, or you can
put a button in that page that says "Now load the page with that applet" or
so, but that's about all you can do. Once more: starting a second applet from
a first one is not possible.
Why do you want to do it? What do you want to acheive with that second applet?

What you *could* do is displaying a frame which itself can have everything
that an applet has, buttons, fields, labels, even menus (which an applet can't
have), if fact, such a frame is almost indistinguishable from an applet. Only
it will be destroyed if the applet is destroyed.
