Wrong :-). The synopsis is as follows:
{font-style, font-weight, and/or font-variant} font-size[/line-height]
font-family.
The first three may come in any order; from font-size ahead, the order is fixed.
So yours should be "bold 10pt Helvetica" :-).
(And don't forget that 'font-size-adjust' and 'font-stretch' are also reset to
their initial values - despite the fact they cannot be mentioned inside the
shorthand!)
Cheers,
Nikolai
