The misc. objects in the level overlay must be in a specific order to prevent glitches such as 8-directional cameras starting with an angle of 164.68505859375 degrees.

The Order:

(2) Path Nodes
(3) Paths
(4) Views
(b) Minimap Tile File
(1) Level Entrances
(6) Teleport Source
(7) Teleport Dest
(8) Fog
(9) Doors
(c) Minimap Scale
(e) (Unknown)
(a) Level Exits

I thought cameras were very mysterious for the longest time before discovering this. Fortunately, reordering the 8-byte object table entries is enough, because no addresses need fixing.

In my example of the 8-directional camera starting with an angle of 164.68505859375 degrees, the Level Entrances table appeared before the Views table, causing the camera to spawn before it knows what view to use.
