Rainer,

If I remember correctly the variable overwrite order was first mentioned 
by a user who was relying on the current overwrite order.

With this change, this user is now facing the same problem, but in the 
opposite way.

Wouldn't it be possible to control the overwrite order by a 
configuration option?
