If one said 'Yotzer Ohr' as the opening but interspersed 'Ma'ariv Aravim' and concluded with 'Yotzer HaMeorot' — has one fulfilled the obligation?

Synopsis

The Mechaber rules that if the opening or middle contained 'Yotzer Ohr' and the conclusion was 'Yotzer HaMeorot,' one has fulfilled the obligation even if 'Ma'ariv Aravim' was interspersed, because the opening words are not uprooted by the interruption.
