However, Tom leaves for a two-week vacation tomorrow, and I've got to get his changes before he leaves. Not having those changes will block progress on my work until he returns, so that task better be done no matter what before he leaves.
The default behavior of OmniFocus matches Lucas' description, but that's in the absence of any other filtering or sorting you may do in context view. If you select Perspectives -> Revert to default view, then within each context, actions from the project at the top of the list in Planning view would show up first, followed by actions from the second project, and so forth.

In the example you provided, you'd probably want your context view sorted by due date; that way, whichever task needed to be done first would appear at the top.

You're both right, in other words. ;-)
