John, what you've described is a feature of the GUI; the ability to click
through prompts in any order.  If there are mandatory fields you shouldn't
be able to save the record until those fields have a value, but if those
fields are not mandatory the validation may never run.  This can, of course,
create some madness when you have a validation process or PA on a field that
is setting up stuff for something to follow later.  The short answer, though
not a good one, is "don't do that".  In GUI each prompt has to be considered
completely standalone knowing that anyone can click to it from anywhere.
It's a completely different programming paradigm than what we have
historically done with green screens.

Oh, and it happens in character mode as well when the mouse is used to click
through to fields.
