Mateus, MPI guarantee message ordering per communicator per peer. In other words any message going from peer A to peer B in the same communicator will be __matched__ on the receiver in the exact same order as they were sent (this remains true even for multi-threaded libraries). MPI does not mandate any other type of ordering, such as between communicators or between different pairs of processes.
Now, what I previously said is only true for the matching logic. Completion of message reception is a totally different thing. George.
