Question

I’m using this code

   $args = array('post_type' => 'page', 'post__in' => array(208,7));
   query_posts($args);

To get multiple pages on single page.

The only problem that I have, it really does not matter if i put array(208,7) or
array(7,208) it is always last one displayed on top, so in my case I have 7,74,82,208,
and I need them in order 74,208,7,82 but it is always 208, 82, 74, 7 …

What am I missing ?

post__in only tells which posts to fetch and does not define the order of them. If you want to set the order of pages try setting menu_order in wp menu and then

$args = array('post_type' => 'page', 
              'post__in' => array(208,7), 
              'orderby' => 'menu_order');

Of if you are already using menu_order for something else, you can use custom fields.

$args = array('post_type' => 'page', 
              'post__in' => array(208,7), 
              'orderby' => 'meta_value', 
              'meta_key' => 'custom_field_name');
