Wben one gives more than one filename argument to emacsclient (-n), the
second file ends up in a buried buffer. One would instead expect them
both to be visible. Well at least the emacsclient man page should
document what will happen. I'm trying to say
$ emacsclient ... ...
should act the same as
$ emacs ... ...
in how the files end up displayed.

How does emacs ... ... acts for you?
For me, both 23.3 and trunk do this:
- emacs -q A => splits the frame between A and *GNU Emacs*
- emacs -q A (B...) Z => splits the frame between Z and *GNU Emacs*,
(B...) files are buried
- emacs -Q A => displays A
- emacs -Q A B => displays B, A is buried
- emacs -Q A (B...) Z => splits the frame between Z and *Buffer List*,
(B...) are buried.
Does it work differently for you?

This reveals another big problem that confuses our testing: -nw.
If you add -nw, the behavior becomes different once again!

The point is that IMHO it's not worth the trouble to try to force
server.el to duplicate the behavior of "emacs xxx yyy zzz..." because
that behavior depends on several factors. There are already several
variables (server-window, server-visit-hook, server-switch-hook, etc.)
that can be used to adapt server.el to specific needs.

OK, agreed. I'll close this bug and open a -nw bug. Thanks.
