Issue with code not running in incorrect order

Content

I have come across a strange behaviour in the running of the code for an application we are building.

We have an application were users can request for new positions to be created.  One of the fields to be entered is a Justification for the position which the list of values is stored in a Business Object called Master Values and linked to the position as a reference field.  This stores just the id in the field.  In another screen I need to know the actual value of the justification to perform certain actions.
