Does all the columns in select statement gets selected one after another as listed?

Declare @X, @Y

    SELECT 
    @X = ColumnA*.25 + ColumnB*2.5,
    @Y = ColumnA*.5 + ColumnC*1.33,
    TOTAL = @X + @Y
    FROM SomeTable

Is the above query safe to use? Will total always be selected after @X and @Y are calculated?
