Yes. But this does not matter. Indeed, all Programs must have InitiallyActive set
to False (see 14.1.1). So "All Ingredients of the Group that have InitiallyActive set to
True" never includes any Program anyway. The order of Ingredients should be computed
once only, i.e. preparation is applied to the active ingredients and available programs
together (in the specified order), as opposed to first to the ingredients, then to the programs.
