Is there a best practice for implementing sequentially run plugin phases?

Hey there,
runsBefore and runsAfter values will override once I need to set the order of running plugin phases. This concept lets one hard-code the name of affected phases.
What if I'd like to assign a List of phases to be run sequentially and avoid retyping all the names in runsBefore and runsAfter overrides every time I modify the mentioned list?
Can this be implemented using an existing feature of the compiler plugin framework that I'm not aware of, or does it require an extension?
