If you say that James was killed by the house falling in, then he 

wouldn't have come out of the wand at all because his death wouldn't 

be the direct cause of a Voldy curse....

Ah, Scott, but Priori Incantatem  causes SPELLS to appear in reverse order; 
not just DEATHS. The first thing to appear was  the shade of Wormtail's new 
silver hand. If Voldy used his wand to curse James, and James didn't die from 
the curse, but from something else (deflecting or trying to deflect a killing 
curse from Harry /Lily, house falling on him, etc) James would still have 
appeared as a result of  Voldy using his wand against James.  I can't see a 
reason why Voldy would tell Harry his father was killed first, though, if 
James wasn't. V seems to enjoy torturing with stories of his actual doings. 
And I am puzzled as to the reason why V was willing to spare Lily ("She 
needn't have died....") when full scale devastation is apparently his m.o. I 
do believe time will tell, and have an equal suspicion that the reverse order 
is not an accident.
