In order, yes, and as Eric says, in the "external" declaration order.

For example, the "OCaml-Win32" package from the "humps" makes use of 
both optional and labeled args.  The former show up as either 
"Val_int(0)" or a value of the type expected, while the latter are 
used in the specifications of C callbacks.
