Narrative:
A cherokee called ready for departure, runway 32R. He was told to taxi into position and hold, awaiting spacing on runway for aircraft that had also just departed prior, same runway. Two additional aircraft called inbound for landing instructions. They were given instructions and when I turned to clear the cherokee for departure, a cessna was overflying him while in position. The cessna was cleared to land previously. The cessna landed without incident and the cherokee was cleared for departure. Contributing factors: 1) the traffic on downwind was cleared to land first, the cherokee was told to taxi into position and hold second. The cherokee was not given traffic on downwind and the cessna was not issued traffic in position. 2) the pilots of both aircraft were notified afterwards regarding the situation. The cessna stated that he saw the cherokee in position but chose to overfly him on landing.
