Hi Glen,

yes, but relativity implies locality - that means all causes for A and 
all effects of A would have to be in the past/future light cone. So for 
the causality at point A you would have total ordering.

If things out of the light cone are not comparable - who cares? - they 
don't affect A anyway.

Regards,
Günther
