The names were surely inspired by Mac OS's names for similar routines.
History.  In fact, you already answered your own question.  As you said
right above:

DmGet1Resource theoretically only looks in the most recently opened
database.  BUT: overlays are a special case, and if the database in
question has an overlay, then it does get scanned first.  If you know about
overlays and don't want that to happen, there are APIs in the overlay
manager to control that.
