No, because $item1 comes before $item2, as explained by the sentence at the 
beginning of the chapter 13: "Further assume that variables $item1, $item2, 
etc. are bound to the nodes for the item elements in the document in sequence."
The second examples is using $item1 twice, so also in this case the return 
value must be "false".
