Make Requests in Sequential Order Node.js

Using deferreds like Futures.

var sequence = Futures.sequence();

sequence
  .then(function(next) {
     http.get({}, next);
  })
  .then(function(next, res) {
     res.on("data", next);
  })
  .then(function(next, d) {
     http.get({}, next);
  })
  .then(function(next, res) {
    ...
  })

If you need to pass scope along then just do something like this

  .then(function(next, d) {
    http.get({}, function(res) {
      next(res, d);
    });
  })
  .then(function(next, res, d) { })
    ...
  })
