-----------------------------------------------------------

In my code I prefer throwing the first one. There is one exception when a 
latter Throwable occurrs and it is an Error and the former not.
In my opinion this is the Throwable you want to see.

Another approach is to throw something like a MultiIOException containing all 
occurred exceptions.

I agree that this all is not a real pleasure, but better than leaving resources 
open that can be closed successfully.
I've written a MultiOutputStream yesterday: 
https://github.com/fabian-barney/Utils/blob/master/utils/src/com/barney4j/utils/io/MultiOutputStream.java

I am not sure for myself that I made the right decision here.

>             Project: Commons IO
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Streams/Writers
>    Affects Versions: 2.1
>            Reporter: Fabian Barney
>              Labels: close, stream

> TeeOutputStream.close() looks like this:
> {code:title=TeeOutputStream.java|borderStyle=solid}
>     /**
>      * Closes both streams. 
>      * @throws IOException if an I/O error occurs
>      */
>     @Override
>     public void close() throws IOException {
>         super.close();
>         this.branch.close();
>     }
> {code} 
> It is obvious that {{this.branch.close()}} is not executed when 
> {{super.close()}} raises an exception. {{super.close()}} may in fact raise an 
> IOException since {{ProxyOutputStream.handleIOException(IOException)}} is not 
> overridden.
