i imagine it must run the second `date -n first and the first `date -n second
since the first and second `date -n are both run in the same second.

term% echo `{date -n && sleep 2} `{sleep 2 && date -n}
1091636548 1091636548

can't figure out why?

I would have expected something more like this:

term% cat <{date -n && sleep 2} <{sleep 2 && date -n}
1091637155
