  Dipsacales
If the pair are not immediately related to Dipsacales, the substantial similarity that they have with Dipsacales may indicate either substantial homoplasy or a suite of lower-level synapomorphies in the asterid II group of which there is currently no indication.
In general, characters of Dipsacales and of groupings within it need a more strongly supported and stable phylogeny before we can understand their evolution.
Note that the small families recently recognised in Dipsacales are a consequence of maintaining the well known Dipsacaceae and Valerianaceae in their old circumscriptions - the small clades resulting from the break-up of the old, broadly-circumscribed Caprifoliaceae remained unaccounted for.

 Dipsacales --  Encyclopædia Britannica   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The order Dipsacales consists of four families (the Caprifoliaceae, Valerianaceae, Dipsacaceae, and Adoxaceae) and are Asteridae in having an inferior (or partly inferior) ovary and opposite or whorled leaves mostly without stipules and, in any case, without colleters.
The Dipsacales show strong tendencies toward the development of an irregular corolla and toward having...
The family Calyceraceae has sometimes been included in the Campanulales or in the Dipsacales, but it does not fit well in either.

In particular, I have a great interests in Valerianaceae and Dipsacales (in collaboration w/ Michael Donoghue and Richard Winkworth, Yale University), and in the origin and early evolution of flowering plants (with Pam and Doug Soltis, University of Florida, and Taylor Feild, University of Toronto).
In collaboration with several other researchers I have been involved in the molecular phylogenetic analyses of a number of other angiosperm groups, including Malpighiaceae (w/ Chuck Davis), palms (Bee Gunn, Missouri Botanical Garden), Polemoniaceae (w/ Robert Patterson), and the basal eudicots (Nymphaeales and Illicium; w/ Pam and Doug Soltis, M.-J. Yoo, and Ashley Morris).

However DNA sequence data from both the chloroplast and nuclear genomes suggest that the South American Valerianaceae form a clade, with its closest relatives in North and Central America.
In order to estimate divergence times, fossil data from Valerianaceae and related taxa (other Dipsacales) were used to calibrate a molecular clock using a variety of methodologies and previously published datasets.
Estimated dates for the common ancestor of the South American taxa indicate a rapid diversification of this clade.

Our phylogenetic analyses of Dipsacales, based on 6,500 base pairs of chloroplast DNA, provide a well resolved, well supported phylogenetic hypothesis for the major lineages.
This provides a solid backbone for the assembly of a supertree that draws together analyses of included clades based on a variety of data types.
The result is a tree of about one quarter of the more than 1,000 species of Dipsacales, which well represents all of the major lineages.

The order Dipsacales is classified in Euasterids II and comprises six families following APG: Caprifoliaceae, Diervillaceae, Linnaeaceae, Dipsacaceae, Valerianaceae and Morinaceae.
New sequences of both 5’ and 3’ region of the plastid ndhF gene are generated and combined with published ndhF sequence data; a combination with available rbcL sequences and a morphological data set is also performed.
In classifications of Dipsacales the genus Triplostegia is treated as a member of Valerianaceae, Dipsacaceae, or even as a monogeneric family.

Families may not be a complete list Adoxaceae (moschatel family) Caprifoliaceae (honeysuckle family) Diervillaceae Dipsacaceae (teasel family) Linnaeaceae (twinflower family) Morinaceae Valerianaceae (valerian family) The Dipsacales are an order of flowering plants, included within the asterid group of dicotyledons.
Elder or Elderberry (Sambucus) is a genus of between 5-30 species of fast-growing shrubs or small trees (two species herbaceous), formerly treated in the honeysuckle family Caprifoliaceae, but now shown by genetic evidence to be correctly classified in the moschatel family Adoxaceae.

 PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Asteridae -- Spring 1999
The one, seemingly safe assumption that can be made is that the current rbcL data supports the concept of removing the Dipsacales, or as I prefer, the Dipsacanae, from the Asteridae to the Cornidae.
(1999) moved their Dipsacales from a position between the Apiales and Asterales (see their 1998 treatment) so that the order is the terminal group of their "euasterids II" group composed of Apiales, Aquifoliales, Asterales and then the Dipsacales.
The debate, therefore, is not in the placement of the Dipsacales, but rather in the definition of the Caprifoliaceae.

Phylogeny and Phylogenetic Taxonomy of Dipsacales, with special reference to Sinadoxa and Tetradoxa (Adoxaceae).
To further clarify phylogenetic relationships within Dipsacales, we analyzed new and previously published rbcL sequences, alone and in combination with morphological data.
We conclude from these analyses that Dipsacales comprise two major lineages: Adoxaceae and Caprifoliaceae (sensu Judd et al., 1994), which both contain elements of traditional Caprifoliaceae.

To see the kind of thing that may happen as our knowledge of relationships improves, note the difference between the possible synapomorphies given here for Dipsacales, and those that might remain if [Columelliaceae + Desfontaineaceae] were sister to Dipsacales.
Given our current understandings of both phylogenies and characters, evolution of some characters in which we are interested seems very labile, and I have tried to be very cautious when talking about character evolution.
Dipsacales: Group I secoiridoids +; true tracheids +; nodes 3:3; petiole bundles arcuate; buds with scales; leaves opposite, bases ± confluent, margins gland-toothed; inflorescence terminal, cymose; nectaries as multicellular hairs on corolla, pollen grains trinucleate; K persistent in fruit; testa vascularised, exotestal cells enlarged (palisade), variously thickened and lignified.

 PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Asteridae -- Spring 1999
The significance of the Calycerales (and therefore the Calyceraceae) is that here is the one group that probably points the way toward the evolutionary establishment of the Asterales (and therefore the Asteraceae).
While the ordinal name has been in use for nearly two decades, the taxon only recently was validly published.
Insofar as extant groups are available, this positioning makes sense, but I firmly believe both groups are ordinally distinct and each has evolved greatly from their shared ancestral home that was probably, in my opinion, somewhere near the Dipsacales in the Cornidae.
