This can be resolved by assigning compound names such as "Unit posix -
create-directory" to Texinfo nodes derived from sectional units.

I think this is a feature.  Texinfo documents are often read linearly,
certainly in TeX (or Postscript or hard copy) form, whereas the wiki
has no inherent linearity.  The Texinfo creator should accept an
ordered list of pages to process and use that to determine the final order.
