If the same process (only one) sends two messages one after the other
(Msg1 and Ms2, respectively) to another process, then those two
messages are going to be received in the same order as they have been
sent, i.e. Msg1 first and then Msg2. And this does not depend on the
fact that the two processes are running on different nodes (since I'm
quite sure that message passing among remote nodes is handled using
TCP sockets, so the *order* of transmission should be preserved...)

Or, at least, I hope it works so ;-)
