Here is a design I like better.  It reduces the coupling between classes
and better reflects the underlying concepts:

/**
 * Define an arbitrary ordering on a finite set of values.
 * The ordering is determined by the order of calls to {@code register}.
 */
public class ArbitraryOrder<T> implements Comparator<T> {
  private long nextInsertionRank = 0;
  private final Map<T, Long> insertionRanks = new HashMap<T, Long>();
  
  @Override
  public int compare(T o1, T o2) {
    Long rank1 = insertionRanks.get(o1);
    if (rank1 == null) {
      throw new IllegalArgumentException(o1 + " is not registered");
    }
    Long rank2 = insertionRanks.get(o2);
    if (rank2 == null) {
      throw new IllegalArgumentException(o2 + " is not registered");
    }
    return rank1.compareTo(rank2);
  }
  
  public void register(T value) {
    insertionRanks.put(value, nextInsertionRank++);
  }
  
  public void remove(Object key) {
    insertionRanks.remove(key);
  }
}

public class InsertionOrderedMap<K,V> extends TreeMap<K,V> {

  public InsertionOrderedMap() {
    super(new ArbitraryOrder<K>());
  }

  @Override
  public V put(K key, V value) {
    ((ArbitraryOrder<K>)comparator()).register(key);
    return super.put(key, value);
  };
  
  @Override
  public V remove(Object key) {
    V result = super.remove(key);
    ((ArbitraryOrder<K>)comparator()).remove(key);
    return result;
  }
}
