correlation between NETDEV_# and network cards

I hope this isn't a really dumb question!
Is there a correlation between the physical network cards and their
NETDEV_# entry, or is NETDEV_# strictly an environment variable?
For example, if my cards are physically ordered in the machine as:

tu0 - top card
tu2 - middle card
tu1 - bottom card

is there any correlation between that physical ordering and their entries
in /etc/rc.config - if I have:

NETDEV_1=tu0
NETDEV_2=tu1
NETDEV_3=tu2

is there any reason why this would not work??

Many TIA!!
