Element order and sequence

Hello,

I have a question about sequences. I thought that the order of elements was not important thus the <sequence> element. However, I am getting validation error requiring the sequence to be the same as entered in the schema.  If my assumption is wrong, then what is the purpose of the <sequence> element. If I am right (the order by default) is not important, then why am I getting a validation error. I am using xerces-12x where x is my build from cvs tree.
