I cast Unwilling Recruit targeting some Golem while I control Precursor Golem, Eye of the Storm and an active Pyromancer Ascension. I want to stack my triggers such that the Eye of the Storm trigger resolves before the copy triggers. If I do, will my copy triggers still work? It seems like they should, but the spell they are copying isn't there anymore, so I'm not sure.
With just those cards involved, stack ordering doesn't matter much here actually. Though it may matter for other cards exiled with Eye of the Storm at which point you get to cast them, but that can get complicated real fast, so I'll stick to your question for now.
The Unwilling Recruit copies targeting Golems will be created anyway; even if the original Recruit isn't on the stack anymore, the game will use last known information about it to make the copies. They'll use the same value for X.
Ascension will copy the original Unwilling Recruit only once, even if you target a Golem with it; that won't trigger Precursor since the copy isn't cast. It will also copy each spell cast via Eye of the Storm once.
In addition to Ascension, the card copies cast via Eye of the Storm also trigger Precursor Golem if they're cast targeting only a single Golem, though for Unwilling Recruit, the effect probably would be redundant here, as X will be 0 for the cast via Eye.
I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.

Thank you! I knew that Pyromancer Ascension and Precursor Golem didn't interact, but I wanted to make sure that I could get Unwilling Recruit copies with the original X-value.
