No, since the first pass could choose '2',
then the next pass could choose '6'
and produce the error "item 6 does not exist.

My preference would be to do the

  put "1,2,3,4,5,6" into theNums
  sort  items of theNums numeric by random(1000000)
repeat for each item Y of theNums
       do "some command" & Y
end repeat
