An around method will always be called (in the standard method combination) before any primary method: that's what they're for.

The interesting case would be if there were multiple around methods or multiple primary methods of varying specificities.

Then both around and primary methods should rank most-specific first, but all the around methods will still rank above all the primary methods.
