Relations in general are poorly handled at this point in time, and
because they can't easily be shown graphically people don't deal with
them as well as they should until it's too late and they've been told
of the consequence of their action.

Also as best as I can tell, JOSM handles ordering properly as long as
all members of the relation are loaded.
