The [doclink=sdk]Steamworks SDK[/doclink] comes with a great example application called [doclink=sdk/api/example]Spacewar[/doclink] that shows off the full breadth of Steam features and should be your first stop to see all Steam features in action. This tutorial distills the information found in Spacewar and the Stats and Achievements API down to just the necessary information required for Steam Stats to keep things as straightforward as possible. …

Additionally, the Unit commands have the special action "queue." When an order action is received, if the game detects that the "queue" action is also currently being fired, it will not immediately execute the original order, but instead stick it on queue for that unit. When done with a "move" order this could be used to set waypoints, for instance. Again, this sort of logic would need to be implemented by the game itself.
