I've been reading about Drupal theming and preprocess functions and noticed they listed engineName_engine_preprocess & engineName_engine_preprocess_hook in the order of preprocess functions but I'm not entirely sure what the engine layer is? I understand about the core, includes, modules and themes.

Many thanks
