XML : Error during module installation due to xml records referring to each other

I'm working on odoo module development, left to me by previous programmer. I figured out how most of the code works, but there are some weird parts, that too hard to understand. One example down below: two records (form and action of this form), that referring to each other

  <!-- temp validation action-->  <record id="model_action_id" model="ir.actions.act_window">              <field name="name">Password validation</field>              <field name="type">ir.actions.act_window</field>              <field name="res_model">scores.temp</field>              <field name="view_type">form</field>              <field name="target">new</field>              <field name="view_mode">form</field>              <field name="view_id" ref="Scores.my_specific_view"/>  </record>    <!-- temp validation form-->  <record id="my_specific_view" model="ir.ui.view">      <field name="name">password.form2</field>      <field name="model">scores.temp</field>      <field name="act_window_id" ref="Scores.model_action_id"/>      <field name="arch" type="xml">          <form string="Password Form Validation">              <sheet>                  <group>                      <field name="user_id" />                      <field name="password" password="True" default_focus="1"/>                      <button                          name="validation"                          type="object"                          string="Sign"                          context="{'password':password,'user_id':user_id,}"                          class="oe_inline oe_stat_button".                          icon="fa-check-circle-o"                      />                      <button                           name="cancel"                          string="Cancel"                          special="cancel"                          class="oe_inline oe_stat_button"                          icon="fa-stop"                      />                  </group>              </sheet>          </form>      </field>  </record>    

When I'm trying to install this module on a new server, it gives error:

  ParseError: "External ID not found in the system: Scores.my_specific_view"    

It's searching for my_specific_view, but it's obviously not defined yet at this point. Fun part is, it somehow works on the old server, but I don't exactly understand how. It may be caused by first record, that somehow loaded in memory before reference was made, but that's my only theory. I'll try to find a way to contact programmer, who made it, but it may take a while. Any advices of how to avoid this conflict during installation will be highly appreciated.
