Ab Oracle 10g R2 lautet die Antwort ja, es gibt eine erforderliche Reihenfolge zwischen Elementen in item_list_1 und item_list_2, selbst wenn Cursordefinitionen außerhalb des Platzes erlaubt sind.
Beispielsweise ist eine Prozedurdefinition vor einer Variablendeklaration nicht erlaubt:
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER
