Here the vanishing order $\\nu_{\\omega}(f)$ of one modular form at some point $\\omega$ of the complex upper half-plane is replaced by the intersection multiplicity $\\nu_{\\bo}(f_1,\\ldots,f_{r-1})$ of $r-1$ independent Drinfeld modular forms at some point $\\bo$ of the Drinfeld symmetric space $\\OM^r$. We apply the formula to determine the common zeroes of $r-1$ consecutive Eisenstein series $E_{q^{i}-1}$, where $n-r
