Is it safe to assume that two itterations over the same collection will return the objects in the same order? Obviously, it is assumed that the collection has not otherwise been changed.

Short answer – yes.
Obviously, though, the order of the items in the collection may not be exactly as they were inserted, depending on the type of collection (a dictionary, for example).
But you will get the same results each time you iterate over a single, unmodified collection using a foreach loop.
