Dan,
  You are correct that the include directives are processed in the
order encountered, and that when multiple rules apply, the first one
is supposed to be used. This precedence applies, for example, when
there are multiple element rules for a single GI. However, you pointed 
out to me just a few weeks ago that it doesn't seem to be predictable
which rule will be used when there are multiple rules for a single
character entity.
