Yup, but you don't know where the lock comes from, so that's possible. 

However, I just checked the documentation, and he *is* right after all: MySQL 
claims to be deadlock-free for table-locking engines, they simply lock all 
tables at once (I suppose that means any lock statement will invalidate the 
previous one) and always lock tables in the same order.
