Order of variables contained in a netcdf file

To operate on the entire data in huge netcdf-files efficiently I'd need to
know the order in which the variables are stored in the files I read. Is
there any way to obtain this informtaion within the netcdf4-python module?
Didn't find anything in the documentation...

(I hope this is the right place to raise this issue, I didn't find a user
mailing list or s.thing similar...)

There is no way I know of to get the creation order from the netcdf API. In the old
netcdf 3 format this may have been important for efficient access, but with the new
underlying HDF5 format in netcdf 4 I don't think it is anymore.
