Correction:

$_GET - any parameters passed in the GET string.
$_POST - any parameters passed in the body of a POST query.
$_COOKIE - Any values sent by the browser as a cookie.
$_REQUEST - The *three* above merged.

I'm not sure whether $_REQUEST is affected by the variables_order configuration setting, but this could potentially affect both presence and precedence of the GPC variables in $_REQUEST.

Cheers!
