The location and order of the CP_Owned statements doesn't matter. They don't even have to be listed in order of the slot numbers. Having said that, for readability, maintainability, and to keep us all sane, it is a good practice to specify them all together and in slot numnber order. Specifying SLOT 255 RESERVED will mark all of the slots following your last defined ("real volume") slot as Reserved.
