This never changes unless:
a) you let your users reorder the pages (e.g. by setting the reorderable
child property on a page);
or b) you insert a new page before the one you care about.

You can simply see the index as the tab's position as visible by the
user. The tab at the very left (in LTR layouts) has always index 0, the
next one 1, and so on until the tab at the very right that has index N-1.

No (AFAIK), notebook IS the tabbed UI widget.
