How Magento load all modules

app\code\core\Mage\Core\Model\config.php you can see init function

public function init($options=array())
     {
         $this->setCacheChecksum(null);
         $this->_cacheLoadedSections = array();
         $this->setOptions($options);
         $this->loadBase();

         $cacheLoad = $this->loadModulesCache();
         if ($cacheLoad) {
             return $this;
         }
         $this->loadModules();
         $this->loadDb();
         $this->saveCache();
         return $this;
     }

You can see loadModules() function of same file to see which all modules gets loaded on this page.This  function call _loadDeclaredModules () .

public function loadModules()
     {
         Varien_Profiler::start('config/load-modules');
         $this->_loadDeclaredModules();

         $resourceConfig = sprintf('config.%s.xml', $this->_getResourceConnectionModel('core'));
         $this->loadModulesConfiguration(array('config.xml',$resourceConfig), $this);

         /**
          * Prevent local.xml directives overwriting
          */
         $mergeConfig = clone $this->_prototype;
         $this->_isLocalConfigLoaded = $mergeConfig->loadFile($this->getOptions()->getEtcDir().DS.'local.xml');
         if ($this->_isLocalConfigLoaded) {
             $this->extend($mergeConfig);
         }

         $this->applyExtends();
         Varien_Profiler::stop('config/load-modules');
         return $this;
     }

Under _loadDeclaredModules function you can see how many modules are get loaded and how it parse their config files and dependency etc.

How does layout update takes place on magento:

Layout update of custom modules take place throgh below ways

 

#File: app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Layout/Update.php

public function getFileLayoutUpdatesXml(

//...

foreach ($updateFiles as $file) {

$filename = $design->getLayoutFilename($file, array(

'_area'    => $area,

'_package' => $package,

'_theme'   => $theme

));

if (!is_readable($filename)) {

continue;

}

You can see

echo “Area=>”.$area.” & package=”.$package.”&theme=”.$theme;

if you see your layout file is available or not because might be your layout  file is not available at actual  location like required them and package.
