I have written an atl transformation that works fine in eclipse. But when I execute it in a standalone transformation (with "old" libraries, i.e. AtlEMFModelHandler, ASMEMFModel, AtlLauncher classes), oddly some reference attributes (0..* cardinality, set as ordered in my ecore metamodel), sometimes, are not mapped with their original order!
Trivially the code is a pure mapping like this:
newAttribute <- oldAttribute
I really don't understand what that is due to...all others attributes (among which other similar attributes, with the same properties...) are correctly copied.
So, why only sometimes, some reference attributes are messed up?
I really hope someone have met a similar situation and can help me for this so strange behaviour!

I've forgot to say a fundamental thing to understand my scenario: this transformation is applied to another one's output, so the attributes for which I experiment issues belong respectively to these two transformations outputs (and for them I just map the old value in the new).
What I've found is that this has something to do with the order (always different) in which the referenced elements of my ordered attributes are considered by the atl vm (that's why sometimes it behaves as expected: when the order is equal to the original one)....in that the referenced values are created according to that order.
But the strange thing is that only few reference type attributes aren't (always) just mapped in their order, so I can't figure out a "solution", or at least not a fair one (in atl)...
Perhaps is it a bug of the 'old' libraries (actually I am not able to say which version they are...)?
