I guess this may not really be a big deal, but I did read in a theoretical text somewhere that the entrances should be in the outer voices at the time. What I mean is that if the alto voice enters first, then the next should be tenor or soprano, or else if the bass comes in, then the tenor will be lost in its entrance. Another "bad" sequence would be B T S A. The Alto wouldn't be prevalent enough. I haven't checked out Bach's stuff to see if this is indeed the case, but I'm sure I did read it and it seems to make sense....
