I guess it could work, but I gotta tell you--that seems really weird.  I've never heard of another language where the semantics could depend on the lexicographical order of the identifiers.

No, I don't think that would work.  Say there are two packages, Pack1 and Pack2, that get included in the program, and there is no rule (in the current language) that specifies which one gets elaborated first.  Adding a rule based on the "with" clause order would work if Pack1 and Pack2 are both with'ed by the same package, Pack3, and are not with'ed anywhere else.  But other than that one narrow case, I don't see how you could write a rule to base elaboration order on "with" clause order.
