This is not true. The order is
  * built-in aliases
  * user-specified aliases
  * include/excludes
(Otherwise you would have to construct user-specified aliases for all
versions of a name, e.g. /~sret1/ , /%7Esret1/ , /~sret1/index.html , ...)

On the general point, Christopher, you're slightly confused. But only
slightly. If you do
  HOSTALIAS *.odot.state.or.us "Transportation Dept"
then analog uses that as the name of the host in all circumstances, so these
requests certainly will disappear from the Organisation Report and Domain
Report -- they just don't have a domain any more. What you want is a
two-step procedure:
  HOSTALIAS *.odot.state.or.us odot.state.or.us        # combining
  HOSTREPALIAS odot.state.or.us "Transportation Dept"  # beautifying
