No, not a bug.  The Unit Test police make sure that 
tests are run in random order.

If you need ordering, then you must handle it. The easy
way to do this is to put order dependent tests in the 
same test_X method, or have that method call the tests,
where you have defined your order dependent tests 
in methods that do not start with 'test'.
