I don't think you can rely on that.

Suppose module A defines type A.a and module B type B.b
Now suppose module A has a global object of type B.b and module B,
during execution, comes to have a global object of type A.a

No matter which one of them gets destroyed first, it will happen before
all external references to types defined in its own module are destroyed.

I think you need to patch the C code, if you want to put your global
dealloc in the right place.
