True. In fact, I've even learned something fun in the D&D Miniatures rules (not sure if it applies to D&D itself, though): attacks in a full attack can be made in any order you want. (In DDM, that's very important for ranged attacks, as you're otherwise forced to attack the closest enemy, so this lets you use the weakest iterative attacks against fodder to clear the way for your best attack against the strongest enemy.)
In D&D, this lets you get rid of a low-level body guard (skeleton, goblin, etc.) then move 5 feet and attack the BBEG with your full BAB.
