Does the <title> need to be right after <head>?

Got a warning in a submission program.

I got a warning from a submission program that the <title> tag did not IMMEDIATELY follow the <head> opening tag, and that some engines won't find your title this way.

Is there any validity to this? Is it ok to have <meta> tags between them?

no validity to this, you can usually place it anywhere between the <head> nad </head>

I do by habit, and I think its a good habit to have, unlike using auto submission software, but thats another story.
(I hate auto submit software, and most engines do too)
