	No.  But assuming just for a second that you wanted the order to 
be:
-       all
-       solaris
-       <specific version, but don't care about ordering>

        ...you could do

        actionsequence = ( copy.allstage copy.solarisstage copy.versionstage )

copy:
   all.allstage::
       /var/cfengine/dist/all
           dest=/var/cfengine/stage
           recurse=inf
           server=$(DistServer)
           action=silent
           type=checksum
           backup=timestamp

   solaris.solarisstage::

       /var/cfengine/dist/solaris
           dest=/var/cfengine/stage
           recurse=inf
           server=$(DistServer)
           action=silent
           type=checksum
           backup=timestamp

   sunos_5_6.versionstage::

       /var/cfengine/dist/sunos_5_6
           dest=/var/cfengine/stage
           recurse=inf
           server=$(DistServer)
           action=silent
           type=checksum
           backup=timestamp


   sunos_5_8.versionstage::

       /var/cfengine/dist/sunos_5_8
           dest=/var/cfengine/stage
           recurse=inf
           server=$(DistServer)
           action=silent
           type=checksum
           backup=timestamp

   sunos_5_9.versionstage::

       /var/cfengine/dist/sunos_5_9
           dest=/var/cfengine/stage
           recurse=inf
           server=$(DistServer)
           action=silent
           type=checksum
           backup=timestamp
