The only trouble might arise is if you have exceptions to your general rule. You may still get the general rule firing instead of your more specific rule. Others have commented on this behavior too.

One of my co-workers noticed that you can create a routing order (say for operation categorization) where you specify a Tier 2, and then null out Tier 1. So for example: Tier 1 = Null (normal values would be like add, change, or remove) Tier 2 = Network Tier 3 = Firewall Rule They've tested this and say its getting them the results they want (their goal is to save time by not having to configure extra assignment rules). I've always generalized the way group assignment works as going from the most specific rule, to the least specific, and I guess I've always assumed you had to start at Tier 1 and narrow things down from there. Since what they are doing challenges my notion of the way it works (and I'm pressed for time, otherwise I'd go digging through the code), I wanted get some more experienced thoughts on it. Will doing the above break anything? Have any unintended consequences?
