Subject: strange order of execution

Hi list!

I had a strange effect, when I combined print with several strings 
and a method.
Please look at this example:

##############
def method1
    print "string_2_method", " - "
    return "return_string_method - " 
end

print "\n"
print "string_1", " - ", method1, "string_3\n"
##############

Surprisingly it results in:
string_2_method - string_1 - return_string_method - string_3

But I expected it to result in:
string_1 - string_2_method - return_string_method - string_3

Even if any method would be executed first, independant of the 
position in the line, then shouldn't it be the following:
string_2_method - return_string_method - string_1 - string_3

Can somebody please explain this strange order of execution to me?

Thanks 
Dirk
