You need an ordering key; otherwise order is indeterminate. Still, 
comparisons based on row sequence are often easier to code in the 
application. A SQL hack is possible, but it may not perform very well. 
If the ordering key is a column k which, following your example, takes 
the values 1,2,3,4, and if your table follows the pattern of your 
example, this query yields your desired result:

SELECT
  t1.b,
  t1.a AS B,
  (SELECT t2.a FROM tbl AS t2 WHERE t2.k=(t1.k-1)) AS delta
FROM tbl AS t1
WHERE MOD(t1.k,2)=0;

If your MySQL version is pre-4.1, you could accomplish this with user 
variables, but it would be messier.
