Hi Detlev, 3.2.3 only applies when the navigation mechanism is repeated across multiple web pages in a set of pages and also allows for same relative order which I think would likely mean that this would not fail 3.2.3. However, just because the content is available in the virtual cursor doesn't mean the user will be able to easily find it. So there could be some cases where placing it in the focus order could be helpful to some users unless there is some mechanism to help the user understand why they can't access something.
