file opening order

Hi,
I just verified something :
- newly opened files open in a tab to the right of the currently active editor tab
- unless they're the .h file that goes with an already open tab in which case they open to the left of that tab
Is there a reason for that this kind of inconsistency? Opening a header file to the left of the current tab if that tab holds the corresponding implementation file isn't that big a deal, but in that case I'd expect consistency in that headers always open to the left of the current tab (and any other behaviour as a switchable option).
When I open a header that's "unrelated" to the tab I'm currently working on that is to refer to some detail in over 95% of the cases. In that scenario I'd expect to be able to switch back to my working document with a single "next/previous open tab" shortcut, or by clicking on a tab that should still be in view in the large majority of cases.
Am I really an exception in this?
R.
