The FLOW_INIT Event and Event Order

Does this event come before or after the CLIENT_ACCEPTED event? I'm guessing before but would like to know for sure.   Also, will this event only fire if packet filters are used or always?

it seems it is fired even afm is not provisoned.

e.g.

root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list sys provision afm
sys provision afm { }

[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  tmsh list ltm rule qux
ltm rule qux {
    when FLOW_INIT {
        log local0. ""
}
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
        log local0. ""
}
}

[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  tail /var/log/ltm
