It would be better to make the dependency explicit by passing the
results of the call line as a (potentially unused) variable to the code
block.  For example;

  #+name: three(v="three")
  #+begin_src elisp :var foo=one("two")
  v
  #+end_src

There is (at least currently) no guarantee that evaluation order will be
buffer order.
