This example also gives an error:

(cl-loop
 for x in (number-sequence 1 10)
 for z in (elt (number-sequence 1 10) (1+ x)))

because a `for VAR in LIST' clause evaluates LIST just once before the
loop starts.

The "treated sequentially" in the manual refers to the assignment of
VAR. For example, this gives an error:

(cl-loop
 for y = (1+ x)
 for x in (number-sequence 1 10))

And this does not:

(cl-loop
 for x in (number-sequence 1 10)
 for y = (1+ x))
