Internal ordering of interaction fragments in a sequence diagram [message #478312]

Hey you,

after reading the relevant sections in the uml spec, i found out, that
the ordering of interaction fragments in an interaction results only
from their physical representation in the containment tree?! First, i
can't imagine, that there is no ordering mechanism (except of
GeneralOrdering, which is responsible for the partial ordering of
occurrences), but it seems to me, that it is so?!

But, is that really the best way to represent semenatic of an interaction?

Yes I believe that what you have described is accurate. The lists in
question are marked as "ordered".
You can raise issues with the UML spec by going to www.omg.org.
