Speaking of RAII and all...

When an object is stuck into a standard collection in C++, and then the 
collection goes out of scope, what order is defined on the destructors of 
the things in the collection? I wouldn't imagine it's the order they were 
inserted (at least for a random-access type collection).  Does a stack 
destruct in a different order than a queue does, for example? Does a vector 
always destruct on increasing indexes?  (An array doesn't call the 
destructors of its element, does it?)

    C# - a language whose greatest drawback
    is that its best implementation comes
    from a company that doesn't hate Microsoft.
