Order of cluster searching with ace file (recent snapshot)

Snapshot of 5 Dec 2006

The order of cluster searching from an ace file does not seem to be the
order of listing (as I think it should be), or else that order is not
used consistently.

With this ace file cluster list:

   local: "../atmp";
   system: "../system";
   dbmap: "../system/dbmap";
   ...[other clusters]...
   standard: "${path_lib}/loadpath.se";

a class that was in both local and system (in different versions) was
chosen from system by compile and from local by finder.  Changing the
order of clusters changes the result from finder but compile always
chooses the system cluster.

Do finder and compile use different search algorithms?
