Ivy uses ONLY the revision numbers to compare versions across repositories-it does not use the "publication date" or any other metadata-it would be essentially meaningless, since there is no guarantee that any given server or your local computer has a correctly synchronized system clock. If an artifact is found with the same revision in two different repositories, they are assumed to be the same and whatever repository is first in the chain will be used. So in your case, Ivy finds that the most recent version in each repository is 1.1.7.1; since they are the same, it then proceeds to download from the first repository in the chain. If two revisions are different they need to have different revision numbers.
Incidentally, the returnFirst property (which is false by default) has no relation to this-setting returnFirst to true causes Ivy to get the artifact from the first repository in which it finds a satisfactory version without checking to see if there are more recent versions in other repositories.

I read this documentation : http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/concept.html#change and the best practices, but I have this problem yet. I tried many options (resolveDynamic, force) and this mailing : http://www.nabble.com/Ivy-resolve-not-getting-latest-td25531231.html but always without success. My dependancies get the changing attribute in ivy.xml file. My convention about latest.integration is like Maven with a SNAPSHOT pattern.

reading the log, if I understand, it determines correctly that the most recent from shared repository but it downloads from local. However the publication date of shared ivy-1.7.1.1.xml is most recent that this one of local. There is wiered something is that if I change the order in my chain (shared before local) that works (it downloads from shared) and the problem is inversed (it does not take care the most recent from local).
