Running DROD 4.0.2.112 I found a bit of inconsistency between Global and normal NPC script startup.

Let's have the following 3 scripts:
1,
Speech "No Wait"

2,
Wait 0
Speech "Wait 0"

3,
Wait 1
Speech "Wait 1"

Let's make a room with 3 NPCs, one for each script. Let's also have 3 global scripts with the same setup.

This is the result:
Before any turns pass:
Global No Wait runs
NPC No Wait runs
Global Wait 0 runs

After 1 turn pass:
NPC Wait 0 runs

After 2 turns pass:
NPC Wait 1 runs
Global Wait 1 runs

Note that my other testing results indicate that global scripts normally run after NPC scripts.

I have attached a small hold to demonstrate what I mean.

Edit: I tested it again in DROD 4.0.3.113 and the results are the same.
