The only possible suggestion would be that some of the elevators move you up and some move you down, but the only elevator I see moving you down is in Portal: Prelude, after first GLaDOS fight.

The worst thing is - VALVe probably thought about this when they made it.

I think that in Portal 2, there will be huge consistent system.

How can the observation rooms for chamber 14 and chamber 9 be next to each other, as we see it in the BTS areas of Portal?

The elevators move through portals. This is the way to conserve space for the BTS areas and lay out the test chambers in an optimal way

// wait, this is thinking with portals!

Haha! I like this idea!

We're indeed thinking with portals in these threads -
Portals in chambers, turrets, elevators. What's next?

You forgot toilets.

The next suggestion should be the electric things. They seem to have no batteries and no wires, so the energy can only be supplied by a portal right to Aperture Science Nuclear Power Plant.

The elevators don't all move just in one direction, some move up, some move down. To tell you the truth, I don't even think there's a set order for the test chambers. GLaDOS probably changes the order every now and then, and there might even be test chambers you don't see at all.

So are there several copies of Chambers 09 and 14 (and every other number)?

I think it's pretty safe to say all chambers up to 13 are in that order most of the time, since you learn the basics of the portal gun in those chambers, and get access to both portals. First when you enter chamber 13, the game really begins.

Though you could also say the game first really begins when you finish chamber 19.

You mean "the game such as Half Life/Opp. Force/Blue Shift/HL2/HL2: Ep1/Ep2/..." No, Portal is completely different style of a game. Portal is as much like HL2 as Super NES is like Sega Genesis.

Possible, but the rest of chamber 14 would hit chamber 09 if they should be placed like this. VALVe either thought we wouldn't think about this, or else they just didn't.

Anyway, you forgot to reply to my two posts.

I think you're an evil robot sent from mars to eat all Portal player's toes

Well, according to Portal: The 4th Millennium, I am an evil lord of Earth right from Aperture Science sent to conquer the Solar System.

The events of Portal takes place before the events of Half-Life 1.
Do you think G-Man is involved at all in Portal?

If we believe GLaDOS, the events of Portal are way after HL1.
But in Portal: Prelude, before HL1, G-Man is still involved, even if in commentary it says: "I searched for so many ways to include the G-Man before I found the best one - to not to include him."

Oh right, my memory fails at the moment.

The comment is in Chamber 11, if you go through the fizzler rather than the door. And it clearly says that G-Man's sightings are completely uninspired by Portal.

Why I know that?

Because you don't get to see him a single time in the game.
