I just noticed Mounce's notes on John 1:1c in his "Basics of Biblical
Greek." He makes the claim that the word order changes the meaning in this
way:

KAI hO LOGOS HN QEOS = "and the Word was a God"
KAI QEOS HN hO LOGOS = "and the Word was God"

My head is still swimming from reading too many pages on the article too
quickly...but is there really a difference in definiteness due to word order?
