timesheets priorities

Hello all,

The animation sandwich model
states<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/CR-SMIL3-20080115/smil-animation.html#animationNS-AnimationSandwichModel>that
the document order of the elements have an influence on the animations
priority :
"*If two animations share no time dependency relationship the element that
appears first in the document has lower priority.*"

Can anyone tell me what is the expected behavior for an external timesheet ?
Are the elements contained in the external timesheet to be considered at the
<timesheet>/<link> position ? Or do external animations always have lower
priority compared to inline ones ?


Thank you!

David
