David, Is it not true that when you do a window-select it grabs the items in the order which they were created? For some reason I remember needing to know this a while back and this was the conclusion I came up with. Try making multiple points in rhino and then referencing them into a point param....the blue connection lines should adhere to the order in which the points were created...maybe I am seeing things!
