If there aren't priorities being used, then it would be plain FIFO. Different priorities will then override the first-in-first-out order and be returned earlier. <code>reserve()</code> only returns one at a time (<code>watch()</code> just says where you will look for the items), but you can keep calling it to get more. In my last project, I collected 100 items from the queue, fetched data about them all at the same time (from the Twitter API), and then went back to delete all 100 (via the job-ID I stored when I had read them originally). I hope this is useful to you. If you have a request for another post, Aaron, then please let me know what you would like to know more on, and I'll see what I can do!

Does $pheanstalk->watch() return the oldest item added to the tube? Or does it return multiple items? Also, can $priority be null? Will this effect FIFO order? If all items have the same priority are they delivered to the worker FIFO? Thanks. I would love to see more examples of pheanstalkd. Moving from Amazon SQS to Beanstalkd.
