Do variables only have an ordering relationship when they are directly and consecutively linked in the chain?

Never mind! I see now that they do not have to be directly linked. However, would it suffice to say that they DO have to be linked in a linear, horizontal fashion in order for them to have a relationship?

For example:

O - Q
/
L - M - N
\
P

Could one say that L and Q have a relationship?

Hi Balde,

We could say that L and Q have a relationship, that L must be before Q (and we know that it must be at least two spaces before Q, since O must be in between them). However, we cannot say that Q and N, or N and P have a relationship.
