Okay.  Here are the terms which I have been taught in school, and what most
publishers follow.

Index - A giant reference of terms and subjects in that particular book or
manual which have page numbers by them, showing where the topic's information
is located

Glossary - Similar to an index, but instead of a page number, it has a
definition.

Table of Contents - The TOC shows the chapter and sub-chapter structure.  This
belongs at the very beginning.  It also has page numbers on where to go for that
chapter or sub-chapter.

I hope this helps.  Remember, I learned this in school, so it maybe incorrect,
and this is based on my own definintions on each thing.
