Right! I had missed that piece of context...
In practical, it is even often the case that you allow different
relative orders because the order is significant.
In fact with RELAX NG per see you can't say anything to an application
because the main goal of a RNG schema is validation and with W3C XML
Schema that could convey such information in its PSVI, you don't have
the necessary flexibility to express that.
If that's a real need, one could use RELAX NG annotations to do so.
