subqueries and order of execution

KranthiMar 14 2011 — edited Mar 14 2011
I have a question on order of execution of the rowsource operations while having column level subqueries
As per explain/execution plan the subquery is getting executed first then the outer table.
I thought that the outer table(oe_order_lines_all) should execute first then the subqueries becoz the subqueries are driven by the values of the outer table. Below are details of the query
Can anyone explain the reason and why this is happening? and what the :B1 imply in predicate information

oracle db version - 10.2.0.5.0
SELECT  (SELECT head.order_number
          FROM ont.oe_order_headers_all head
         WHERE head.header_id = line.header_id) order_no,
       (SELECT cust.account_name
          FROM ar.hz_cust_accounts cust
         WHERE cust.cust_account_id = line.sold_to_org_id) cust_name,
       line.line_number
  FROM ont.oe_order_lines_all line
 WHERE creation_date >= '01-FEB-2011'
