As I understand it "diatonic scale" is a definition for a certain type of scale. In this case a scale with seven notes, five intervals of which are whole steps, two of which are half steps. I don't really think the order of them matters. Kind of like how a symetrical scale is a scale with an even amount of tones, regardless of what types of intervals are involved.
