C++/Tree flattens the compositor structure which results in simpler to use
API but which also looses ordering information in some cases (unlike, say,
XSD/e's C++/Hybrid which recreates the compositor structure precisely). One
consequence of this flattening is that multiple elements with the same name
are "merged" into a single set of accessors/modifiers. This earlier email
has more information on this:

In your case, provided you want to continue using C++/Tree, the best
approach is to customize the serialization code for this type and
manually make sure things are done in the correct order.
