The different contexts of a LilyPond score are typeset in the order
that you first mention them in \score{...}.

If you, for example, start from the melody-chords.ly template at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/input/template/out-www/collated-files.html
and replace the \score section with
\score {
  \notes <<
    \new ChordNames {
        \property ChordNames.chordChanges = ##t
        \harmonies
    }
    \new Staff \melody
    \new ChordNames {
        \property ChordNames.chordChanges = ##t
        \harmonies
    }
    \new Staff \melody
  >>
  \paper{ }
  \midi{ }
}
you will get a mixture of staves and chords.
