Think of that like this:
If you translate THEN scale, the scaling will also affect the translate.
If you translate an object then rotate it or rotate an object NOT 
created at the origin, it will make the object orbit around the origin.

When you do an isotropic scalling, like scale 3, and a rotation, the 
order is not important because the scaling don't affect the shape of the 
object.
But, if you do a deforming scaling, like scale<1,2,3>, and a rotation, 
then the order WILL be very important.
scale<1,2,3> rotate<12,60,-15> gives a rotated, elongated object.
rotate<12,60,-15> scale<1,2,3> will result in a sheared object.
Try it with an unit box to see the difference by yourself.
