There's an old pyramid article available as a sample. It's short, so not very deep.

We do a sort of life-path. We do 25pt or 50pt racial templates, career templates that vary between 50-150pts, then a number of 25pt miscellaneous templates that reflect hobby interests or life experiences.

So it's not purely chronological and you're choices aren't gated (Other than templates that have optional lenses), but you're basically assembling a character with a history built upon templates.
