Actually, I have encountered a case where the sequence DOES MATTER!

I have two tables with referencial Foreign Key constraints to each
other.
Don't ask why, because that is the way it was when I accepted the
position
and was told I could not change it. However if I find whom it was that
did 
it, I am sure they will require hospitalization for some trauma they
will
sustain. :)

The bottom line is, the table that has an insert done on it first MUST
have 
a lower id than then second one, as subscribing will fail if the order
is
reversed.
