st: question about ordering of independent variable entry during testing

[Ian C Zink <izink@rsmas.miami.edu>]

Hello statalisters,
 My question regards the entry/order of listing of independent 
variables in a variety of statistical tests (MANOVA, ANOVA, GLMs, 
regressions).  Is there any difference in the order in which I place 
predictor variables into the model, or does stata simply read all 
entered variables as equal? 
Thank you,
Ian
