If DiskEjectFix.daemon is installed in /usr/local/bin, you have to
do the following for each user:

   dwrite Workspace LaunchPaths /usr/local/bin/DiskEjectFix.daemon

It appears that items specified as LaunchPaths are launched before
autolaunched apps on the dock.
You can specify multiple apps on the above dwrite by listing them
separated by a ';' as in:
   dwrite Workspace LaunchPaths path1;path2;path3

It shouldn't be hard to write a script which goes through passwd
database and do the above dwrite for each user.
