tense marking and typology

I'm trying to come up with a pragmatic tense marking system for Asiteya (or
Astya, both tenetative names, really just the word for "the language"),
where different word orders mean different tenses. Is there any precedent
for this? Does it violate typology rules completely to allow SVO, VSO and
SOV in the same language (even if the language is, admittedly, in intense
typological flux)? Also, I would be thrilled if someone could see fit to
share some info on tense systems other than the usual European
past-present-future.  The rigid distictions of a time-line don't appeal to
me anymore.

Thank you,
Jennifer
