No - you will have to plan things so that everything that must be
cleaned up is either in one place or has no dependence on the
order of cleanup.

The servlet engine is allowed to discard/destroy servlets arbitrarily
if it needs to - for example to reduce memory use - HOWEVER, it
can never do that if there is an active request. A given instance of
a servlet will not be re-used once destroyed - the servlet engine will
have to create a new instance & do init() if a new request comes in.

Downloading the complete servlet spec from java.sun.com is a good
idea.
