Apache ModRewrite

[webmaster at ew3d.com (John Hinton)]

Does anybody happen to know if 'for sure' the order in which you list 
modrewrite rules is the order in which they are processed within a 
.htaccess file? It does work, but I want to know that it always works.

Basically, I have some multiple wildcard rules, where directories can't 
be hard coded and as it goes deeper into the directories, the more 
shallow levels interfere with the deeper levels.

Thanks,
John Hinton
