Actually, Bb on a C harp is 11th position - even if it's a chrom with the slide in. Yes it PLAYS a lot like 4th if you don't use the slide, but it isn't really 4th. The reasoning becomes obvious if you use the slide. (Just because you don't use it doesn't negate it :-)
Likewise, Eb on a C (played with the slide in) would be 10th position.
