select ab.a1, ab.b1, cd.c1, dd.d1
from
(select rownum abr, a.a1, b.b1 from a,b where a.a1 = b.b1) ab,
(select rownum cdr, c.c1, d.d1 from c,d where c.c1 = d.d1) cd
where .....

for example, forces Oracle to produce the inline views in order to get valid
values for ab.abr and cd.cbr.

Give it a whirl. I'm not sure who documented this first, but I think there
is something about it on asktom.
I think it was the very first thing I tried when they created "inline
views." Hmm. Maybe I tried orderby
on the inline views first. Let me know if you get different results than I
expect.

Sorry if I'm being dense, but how is including rownum going affect the
execution plan?  Example?

Including the rownum in the inline views (or whatever we're calling them
this week) is the standard trick to force what you seem to want.

When that didn't work and I made sure the table, index, and column stats
were correct, I tried various hints for join order and join method.  When
that didn't work, I decided to smack Oracle in the face with the answer like
this:

SELECT ...
FROM (SELECT ... FROM A, B WHERE ...) AB, (SELECT ... FROM C, D WHERE ...)
CD
WHERE ...
