H'm the offending routine is Order::route_order, I think I've solved it by
changing one block and removing an if/then elsewhere in the routine.

Check out my patch ....

http://www.morpheux.org/interchange/patches/interchagne.4.6.3-order.pm.diff.gz
and 
http://www.morpheux.org/interchange/patches/interchagne.4.6.3-order.pm.diff.README

I've tested it on two mall setups and the order numbers for each route are now
independant of each other inside a cataloge. It is now important to get the
counter and increment arguments for each route correct in the catalog.cfg file.
Counters will only be incremented for orders containing products that have that
route attached to them.

I'm still trying to find out why the $main->{counter} is used. And the addidtion
of a + unary operator has me foxed :-)

Yours

Murray
