I use spiceweasel on a daily basis (thanks, Matt!!! ;-).  Spiceweasel will 
tell you what chef commands you need to run in order to re-create your 
infrastructure according to the infrastructure.yml file that you build based 
on the kind of infrastructure that you want to create.

However, that doesn't necessarily help you orchestrate things in the correct 
order -- you still need to take some care with ordering.  And ultimately, you 
still have to describe everything that you're going to be doing, and put that 
into the infrastructure.yml file.
