well, I contacted my VEC and asked both those questions.
the ARRL (my VEC) informed me that the 9th edition is the latest and greatest edition.

page 49 of the 9 edition clearly states that elements may be taken in any order.

Order of Exam Elements
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]
An applicant may take a series of exams in any order to qualify for a license. As far as the FCC is concerned, as long as all of the necessary elements are earned toward a class of license or upgrade, no particular order must be followed in earning those elements.
The ARRL/VEC recommends, however, that examiners strive to administer the examination elements in ascending order. If examiners have a special situation where an examinee has prepared for an element that doesn't comply with the ARRL/VEC ascending order recommendation, its office will honor the VE Team's decision.
