Yes, I think maybe you're right - I haven't checked lately, since the older versions forced me to clean up my act!

Actually, I believe the newer versions of tile4ms do enforce the order and type now, unless it was relaxed again.

Does pmapper support querying tileindexed layers? I have never used pmapper so I'm not sure I can help there.
