difference between developmental stages and developmental sequences?

I wonder about the difference between developmental stages and developmental sequences. Are the sequences the building-blocks for the stages, so to speak, or are they synonymous?

hey, howz the mid term coming?
i've looked your q up, but not sure if it'll be the answer you want.
anyway this is how it goes:
according to the longman dictionary of applied linguistics:
(in second and foreign language learning) a succession of phases in acquiring new linguistic forms. An important issue in the theories of SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION is whether learners' errors result from LANGUAGE TRANSFER or are sometimes DEVELOPMENTAL ERRORS. It has been suggested that a developmental sequence may explain how many learners acquire the ruels for NEGATION in English. Learners may first produce forms such as I no like that and No drink some milk, even when the learner's mother tongue has similar negation rules to English.
As language learning progresses, a succession of phases in the dvelopment of negation is oberved, as no gives way to other negative forms such as not and don't. A developemental sequence is thus said to occur with the dvelopment of negation in English.
this was the defenition for developmental sequence, to be honest, they don't have the word for stages, so I think (check again cause I could be wrong!) they should be meaning the same thing, in SLA how the people learn a language, and what kind of stages they go through.
also if you've check online, development stages can refer to many other aspects. espescially for computer stages or Erikson's ego development stages Loevinger's stages, etc.
so I guess it's okay to see them both as same meaning?
