This list is about R programming; your question seems mostly about statistics, and is therefore off topic here. I suggest you consult a local statistical expert who *is* comfortable with such statistical analyses. In general, partitions of sums of squares in statistical models can depend on the order of model terms, but you have provided so little information that I doubt that anyone can guess to what exactly you refer.
