I've tried to search the activities at the end/begin of a turn.

I have no idea how to visualize the problem. 

Here is a rough categorisation of the items

unit actions            
   pillage      
   worker actions       
   moves (new turn)                                                     

units           
   HP (heal, or heli loss)      
   MP   
   fuel 
   upkeep
   obsoletion   
   upgrade (leonardo)   
   trireme loss 
   reset (paradrop, airmove, ...)

cities          
   production   
   grain        
   scrolls (techbulbs)  
   cash 
   corruption
   growth       
   fallout (nuclear plant ??)   
   pollution    
   reset (sell, buy)    
   reset (production change)

technology              
   scrolls (techbulbs)  
   obsoletion (units fx phalanx -> musketeer)
   obsoletion (wonders)                                                 

cash            
   change in cash       
   sell of buildings    
   upkeep                                                       

government              
   unhappyness  
   new government

spaceship               
   new components       
   arrival                                                              

savegame                                                                        
                
ai-moves                
   moves        
   city management              
   new barbarian units

other           
   gameover     
   inform client        
   remove turn done
   dead check   
   dipl-info (pull)     
   calculate demographics       
   timeout
   change year  
   send info to player  


Before we change the order of items we have to say which are dependent
to other itmes.

Here is an incomplete list of dependencies:

pillage, pollution      
  production in shields 
  trade 
  grain         

worker action   
  production in shields 
  trade 
  grain


                
upkeep  
  cash                          

buildings       
  production in shields 
  grain         
  cash  
  corruption
  growth
  pollution

production in shields   
  buildings     
  wonders                       

obsoletion      
  buildings                             

technology      
  obsoletion of wonders 
  leonardo      
  MP (nuclear)          

After all dependencies are addressed the next step is to order the
items. 
a) during the last round (production, shieldoutput ...)
b) short before the end of the round (citygrowth, new units ...)
c) at the end of the round (gameover-check ... )
d) begin of the next round (reset of MP ...) 
e) after that (moves in the new turn)

After that step is done we can discuss about ordering the items in the
same group with dependencies between.
