Does the join order matter in SQL?

by

Disregarding performance, will I get the same result from query A and B below? How about C and D?

-- A
select *
from   a left join b
           on <blahblah>
       left join c
           on <blahblan>


-- B
select *
from   a left join c
           on <blahblah>
       left join b
           on <blahblan>  

-- C
select *
from   a join b
           on <blahblah>
       join c
           on <blahblan>


-- D
select *
from   a join c
           on <blahblah>
       join b
           on <blahblan>
