The "Children" section in the reference doesn't provide ordering information. The "Content Model" section does. See the section "Understanding Content Models" to figure it out. Basically the order after the sect1 start tag is: 1. optional sect1info 2. required title, optional subtitle, optional titleabbrev 3. optional toc, lot, etc. 4. a mix of other content (including bridgehead). The only required child is title.
