Shape, Form, and Pattern

From the Wikipedia, shape is the two dimensional outline of a thing whereas form is the three dimensional outline as opposed to the matter contained within it. How do shape and form relate to order and structure? Order seems to be a repetition of shapes and structure is more often a repetition of forms. I think of order and pattern together, but pattern can be a repetition of shapes or forms.
