Not that I can answer your question but maybe this has the answer:
Adding_Administration_Menus
Also see this for the coming version 2.8:

Thanks, I’ve structured this feature into a plugin that I’m busy developing.
Is there a solution to controlling the admin menu order? This isn’t mentioned in the codex as far as I can see.
For a plugin I’m developing I’d like a new top level menu item to be placed between “Pages” and “Comments” (in the top menu block) rather than on it’s own at the bottom. Is this possible?
