Above the manual says

'$_REQUEST is an associative array consisting of the contents of $_GET, $_POST, and $_COOKIE.'
However 
$_REQUEST doesn't always contain the same elements as

$_GET+$_POST+$_REQUEST;

Basically if you add an element to the $_POST array that element does not automatically get added to REQUEST as well. It's easy to understand why :)

<?php 
$_POST['geza'] = 'geza';
$_GET['bela'] = 'bela';

echo '<pre>';
print_r($_POST);
print_r($_GET);
print_r($_REQUEST);
echo '</pre>';
?>

will output this
Array
(
    [geza] => geza
)
Array
(
    [bela] => bela
)
Array
(
)
