Then it needs errata. There is a clear progression intended from officer to master tactician. Especially when you look at the pre-reqs to get to Prefect and Milandisian Warmind they are intended to be parallel paths.
I agree with Southern that Centurion is intentionally non-tiered.<snip>
Why do you believe it was intentionally non-tiered? Having written Paths for the game, non-progression paths are single tiered. There are no other examples of non-tiered path options included within the rules where you may pick one of two or three and pick another at a later tier. It is far more reasonable to expect that it was an accidental omission of requirement rather than the creation of a singularly unique type of Path created without notes written to clarify it's unique status.
Also for Paths that grant a choice of either primary casting skill or equivalent combat skill, those options are in the 2nd Tier of the Path. The exceptions I can find such as the Bearers of Woe or Beltinian Exorcist effectively have it as their second Path choice as they require another Path before it that does not grant those key skills (Holy Champion, Anointed Priest).
I'm happy to consider an argument to the contrary, but I don't consider "It hasn't been errataed yet" as a strong argument.
