Ok, thanks bikeNomad, that does make sense. What I'm still confused at, though, is how the interperter decides the order it evaluates in. Here are a few test cases: 
for(++$....$..$.)

When I use this is evaluates the left side first, and cycles through 1 to 11. 
for(++$....$.++.$.)

But as soon as I add that second ++, it evaluates the right side first, and cyles through 2 to 12. 
for(++$....$..++$.)

And this is perhaps the strangest of them all. It evaluates the right side of the ...(flip flop) operator first, and also evaluates the right side of the .(concatanation) operator first. It cycles through 2 to 22.
