I (again) banged my head against Order today.
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_access_compat.html#order>
says:
Deny,Allow
The Deny directives are evaluated before the Allow directives.
Access is allowed by default. Any client which does not match a Deny
directive or does match an Allow directive will be allowed access to
the server.
I'm used to 'evaluated before' meaning first match applies
(firewall style), and any later matches never being checked.
I can't figure out how 'before' is relevant in this sentence,
since all Allow matches are checked, even if a Deny matches ('before'
the Allow match).
Is there a meaning to 'before' I'm just not getting, or can
this be removed as confusing?? Is it a historical artifact having to
do with code internals, and not relevant to .conf syntax?

Chris Pepper
