Maneuver Load Alleviation, as mentioned earlier relates to a high speed, high loading demand, where some of the outer spoilers, and the ailerons, are deflected upward to alleviate stress/bending. Wing bending relief, I think, relate more to the situ. that Mustapha mentioned. The 330/340 series burn tip tanks last, wing tanks second last.
