this is the order for register_globals what has not much todo with $_REQUEST

why not? i did not fully understand ...
what is the clearer way?

i prefer using $_REQUEST as the clearer way as i wrote before

i always prefer using superglobals than importing them into GLOBAL space

and i prefer use $_REQUEST than $_POST or $_GET as sometimes its needed 
to change between POSTING or 'GETTING' variables, like PMA currently 
does with request larger than 1000 chars.
