[Histonet] embedding like specimens sequentially

Can anyone give me a literature reference that delineates the reasons
and process for embedding non-like specimens sequentially?  We are
trying to address our PA's ordering cervical biopsies followed by
endocervical curettage biopsies, and breast masses followed by breast
core biopsies, etc..  The only thing that seems to drive change is
documented literature, not histotechs telling them that this is poor
practice, and potential a legal problem.  I don't need case studies - WE
all know them - I need hard and fast rules.  
 
Thank you in advance!
