hey, this is news to me.
i cannot think of any way how to achieve this (from the programmer's side, of 
course), without getting a *lot* of timing problems.
if you really need a specific rendering order with several separators, you'll 
have to do what you have to do in pd to acchieve a certain order of message-
execution (basically Gem is message based): use "trigger"

sketch:

[gemlist(
|
[t    a    a]
|           |
[gemlist2(  [gemlist1(

i'll have a look at this.
however, i will *strongly* recommend to not rely on a feature like the ordering 
of several gem-sublists by giving an argument to [separator].
it will be really confusing to ignore pd's way of handling such problem.
