Thanks for your answer Rob, this is exactly what I was looking for. :)
Total Ordering seems like such a fundamental thing for a Persistent Queue.
I'm surprised there hasn't been a solid answer to this question. Is there a
standard way people get around this?
Would an Exclusive Consumer guarantee Total Order? 
I would think that a new Exclusive consumer wouldn't be able to consume
messages until the crashed TCP connection/consumer finally closed and
released the outstanding messages.
