What do you mean with "by default"? As you can see in XmlDefinitionsSet
and FactorySet's JavaDoc it says (at the method "extend"):

<quote>
Add definitions from specified child definitions set. For each definition
in child, look if it already exists in this set. If not, add it, if yes,
overload parent's definition with child definition.
</quote>

As you can see, I need ANOTHER METHOD (just because "extend" method is
indeed useful) that puts only missing definitions, without overriding the
already present ones.
Anyway i was not writing about a "bug" or a strange behaviour, only a
missing (IMHO) feature. And so is the missing "clone" method in
XmlDefinition. I have to say that Dimensions works around this missing
feature by loading all definitions files from root to leaves (by reparsing
them when needed) but I think it is a waste of time (though only in the
startup). But suppose that, one day, there will be some dynamic Tiles
definitions (i.e. think about customizable home pages with preferred
sections such as MyYahoo). Do I have to reload all definitions files from
root for all the users?
