Comment (by simonmar):

 "first in" has a perfectly reasonable meaning: the execution of the
 program corresponds to some unspecified interleaving that sequentialises
 the operations, and you can define first-in using that ordering.

 Yes you can construct programs where the ordering is non-deterministic,
 but you can also construct programs where the ordering is deterministic,
 and in those cases the FIFO ordering property is useful to the programmer.
