I noticed that the SVN has been failing while committing code. It allows me to commit my changes even if I am not in the latest revision. Therefore, if I modify an old version (revision) of the code and commit it but the repository has a newest version of the code (revision), it updates the repository and will ignore the changes implemented by other user to the latest revision. The SVN will not display any error.

That's not true. SVN would never allow you to commit if you're not at HEAD (of the modified files).
