I think even if you define the order, it won't really workout well. Also 
you would need to check if all devices have the same order. At least on 
the consumer GPS side, Garmin turned the draw order upside down in newer 
vs older generation gps devices (same holds true for old Mapsource 6.13 
vs Basecamp >=v3).

Maybe there would be a need for proper overlay checking with blacklists 
which types may not be in the same area as others, and then mkgmap 
cutting out some polygons. Or mkgmap cutting out smaller polygons from 
larger ones, similar to how mapnik does it... I cannot imagine this to 
be easy though (because I cannot even come up with a clean concept on 
how this should be done).
