Bob, Forgive me if this is obvious to you, but I have to remind myself over and over. RelativeLayout makes only a single pass through your XML to determine the Ids and collect the layout information. So it is essential that you order the elements correctly to make sure you have no forward references. RelativeLayout does not complain if you do and it will appear that the elements are not obeying your layout parameters.
