"FIX Session-level Test Cases and Expected Behaviors" dated July 10, 2001 is 
available via http://fixprotocol.org/specifications/TechDoc-FIXSession and is 
part of Volume 2 within FIX specs >= 4.3.  Test Case 14-g:

"g. Receive a message in which the following is not true:  Standard Header 
fields appear before Body fields which appear before Standard Trailer fields.

1.      Send Reject (session-level) message referencing incorrect message 
structure header+body+trailer 
2.      Increment inbound MsgSeqNum
3.      Generate an "error" condition in test output.
"

Note also for the discussion that the spec has clearly stated that CheckSum 
must be the last field in the message.
