Duplicated resource precedence

1998-04-16 19:41:19
Hi all,

I use a two-tiered resource file scheme, with a few list-specific
commands in one rc file, and a larger group of common settings
in a second rc file called "common.rc".

If a certain resource is specified twice in the rc files,
which takes precedence?

A quick experiment showed that using (regardless of order)

<FIELDORDER>
subject
</FIELDORDER>

<INCLUDE>
common.rc
</INCLUDE>

in one of the list-specific files,
where common.rc also has a FIELDORDER specified, caused the
last definition to prevail.   With resources that don't
use override, can I expect the last definition to take
precedence in general?

Thanks,

Michael
