fwiw in AIF I do something similar (see http://github.com/Dieterbe/aif/blob/master/src/core/libs/lib-blockdevices-fi... ) (but there i use a text file containing all mountpoints)
The interesting thing is, to find the order in which you should mount or (or umount) blockdevices can be found by doing a normal alpabetical (reverse) sorting of the mountpoints, so i just use the sort tool.
How so? Filesystems are not mounted in any particular order, and /proc/ self/mounts lists the filesystems in the order they were mounted. Using the sort command would screw up the mount ordering, which means I would have to do more passes to properly umount things.
