David:
ListPlot3D[{{1,10,100},{2,20,200},{3,30,300},{4,40,400}}]
is giving a surface apecified by heights 1 at {1,1}, 2 at {1,2}, 3 at
{1,3} etc. This is the same kind of specification as is used in
SurfaceGraphics, given by Plot3D for example.
The line that I think you are expecting is given by
Show[Graphics3D[Line[{{1,10,100},{2,20,200},{3,30,300},{4,40,400}}]]]
