[rspec-users] checking order of method calls on different mocks

[Fregas]

I have a spec where I need to check that the order of 2 method calls
to 2 different mocks is correct:

mock_customer.should_receive(:save).ordered
mock_customer.should_recieve(:id).and_return(1).ordered
mock_order.should_receive(:customer_id=).with(1).ordered

however this does not work. I can set order.customer_id at the
beginning, before save and id are called and the spec passes.

Don't think it's related, but receive is misspelled here ^^.

Ordering does not work across objects. Does this really need to happen in order? What's the real requirement you're trying to express (not how the code is doing it, but what's supposed to happen at a high level)?
