Positions

Hi Dave,

 I understand that Modes and Positions are diffrent things and I understand that the various

posistions tend to lean toward certain modes.  Are the positions named based on the circle of fifths ?

Example:  Key of C, = first postion , second position = key of G, third postion key of D , fourth postion = key of A, 

fifth position = Key of E, 6 position = key of B ....and so on? thus 12 positions posible based on teh circle of fifth. 

  Thank you for your time
