Sure. The connectivity is really no problem; it is explicitely given,
and is and will ever be read by the SMILES parser. This never was a
problem.

Bond orders are different. Even for PDB files deducing unknown bond
orders is easier (using some simple bond length heuristics, as
implemented in the RebondTool). A benzene ring (c1ccccc1) is no
problem either... but that are more complex examples, for which
deducing bond orders (not connectivity!) is a problem.
