I'm not an expert on ieee1394 but from what I've seen they actually do
work the same in this respect, I've only tries SBP2 mass storage stuff
though, no cameras. Have a look at dmesg output; usually the kernel will
print some info there when you plug in a 1394 device. If it shows
nothing at all you most likely don't have all the modules loaded,
otherwise it should at least be an error message.
I heard the ports on some external HD cases were actually different in
that they accepted a host only on one but not the other, and there seem
to be some general problems in the kernel with daisy-chaining devices.
As you don't seem to have any oth these problems, no, I'm quite sure
order doesn't matter.

You do have the kernel support for that, don't you?
CONFIG_IEEE1394_VIDEO1394 and CONFIG_IEEE1394_RAWIO in .config?
cheers!
