Steve,

You are absolutely correct that LDAP is very flat and goes out of its way to tell you not to count on order of values.

That being said, what the developers have done when they cared about order was to use a "list" type attribute. Take a look at the postalAddress attribute which takes a list of values separated by "$" characters.

So, your example of

fooRole: location_a $ role_a
fooRole: location_b $ role_b

would be the way to go.
