Well, usually. . . no. The TWR and TRACON will come to an agreement who the last arrival for the present configuration is. After that arrival, any new arrivals will begin to be sequenced for the new configuration. It just means that, the TWR can't release the depatures on the new configuration until after that last arrival comes in. But once again, I must stress. . . this is the general process. Each facility is different.
