No the sequence of privileges is not important. Indeed, in PN this is the
case, but not in Xaraya. What is important is the "distance" where the
privilege comes from. For example, a READ from a father is stronger than an
EDIT from a grandfather.

Yes, as described in Voll's post. The exception is NO_ACCESS, which is a
deny.
