Thank you for your response.

Yes I tried the restore without reordering, but it doesn't work due to the
fact that pg_restore tries to restore some objects of my DB before it is
allowed to restore them. (View before Table and so on). Thus it is necessary
to reorder.
I discussed this item last autumn without a satisfactory solution. It seems
to be not possible detect the correct order of DB objects for pg_dump.

Are you sure reordering was necessary?  Did you try to restore
without reordering the objects?

You could also specify the database as an option to pg_restore and
skip piping the output into psql, unless perhaps you have a specific
reason for using psql.

Hmmm...I see the same behavior.  The following restores objects
with their original permissions:

pg_restore -d testdb db.dump

The following restores objects without their permissions:

pg_restore -l db.dump > db.list
pg_restore -d testdb -L db.list db.dump

I see that as well; I'll mention it on pgsql-bugs.
