Strange drawing bug

[Joseph Marlin]

I decided to make a nice isometric viewer. I am getting a strange issue where two cubes, always exactly two cubes, are not being drawn correctly. I cannot tell why, and I cannot tell if this is a bug with cocos, a bug with python, an error with my code, or intended behavior. Are all elements in a layer guaranteed to be drawn in the order they are added? 

Here is an image of the problem:

If you want to give it a run through, here is the image I used:

And here is the code: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1920393/main.py

Thanks so much to anyone who could give me a hand with this!

No, they're not. To guarantee drawing order you should set z value
when you add the sprite to the layer.

Ok, thanks! Does that add a significant amount of overhead?

No, it just controls the ordering of the elements in the layer when
they're added.

Interesting. Ok, well thanks so much for your help.
