It is an artefact if how TeX works: it makes a single pass over your document, so if it is missing something that is defined later, like TOC entries, it can't fill them in and skips them. It does write status files during processing so that a later run will have the missing information. In some case you may even need to run it more than two times to get page number references to stabilise. This strategy was probably an excellent choice in the late 70s / early 80s when TeX was created and memory was a scarce resource.
