Marc, the order that messages are passed down multiple patch chords coming from the same outlet is based on the order they were connected, not their right to left placement.
but if you ever depend strictly on the order you should really do your patch readers a favor and use a trigger object to keep things documented in a very explicit fashion.

Included is a demonstration patch that shows the problem. I thought that messages were sent from right to left, in this very specific order, in every situations. But in many situations, the order is from left to right. Quite disturbing...
