"1 1 1" is possible: first evaluate func(3), then func(2), then func(1), then do all the dereferences. To get "3 2 1", the initial "3" requires func(3) to be evaluated between the evaluation of func(1) and its dereference, so func(3) is evaluated after func(1); but likewise the final "1" requires func(1) to be evaluated after func(3). -- Joseph S.
