By rule if a runner has touched all bases and touched home, she has scored. She cannot UNscore by retracing her steps.

Example, runner on 2B and a fair batted ball rolls to the RF corner. R1 misses 3B and crosses the plate. R1 returns to 3B, but by this time, the ball has reached the infield.

R1 stays at 3B. If she did not retouch home base, she is subject to be out on a legal appeal.
Different, right?

Or, maybe you are getting at the order of the touch. In your situation, the runner touched 3rd after having touched home, so while technically it meets mcrowder's statement, that is not what I read him to mean.
She did touch them in order. Remember, in ASA, if you passed the base, you legally touched it. Point being that mcrowder's general statement though valid, by rule isn't necessarily true.

Of course, then you have the possibility of drawing a throw which, if there are other runners, could be INT.
