How does this ordering compare to section 2.1 of JSR 250.  I am not
suggesting any changes, I was just curious if that specification is
similiar.

+1, seems straightforward.  Just to clarify #3 -- I'm reading your
proposal as "if a given method is somehow parameterized by the same
interceptor annotation multiple times (via some combination of
annotated inheritance and/or annotation at both type and method
level), then the most specific (most inherited, method level) instance
of the annotation wins".  Sound right?
