I don't completely follow what you're getting at w/ the initial statement, although I'm guessing your experiencing bug 40579 by chance?

What I want to say is, that I wonder,that in the first run, jack gets emerged before alsa-lib.

And when I emerge jack alone, then alsa-lib get merged before jack, and jack compiles without any problems.

This is because of the circular dependency.  alsa depends on jack and jack on alsa.  In the first run, something pulled in jack which then pulld in alsa as a depend.  In the second, you asked for jack which pulled in alsa first.  This is a dupe.
