If you think of it as setting a default setting at the top and then
overriding the default further down (perhaps with a conditional, etc) then
it would make sense for the later to override the earlier.
However, Hans, your points on the other side are very legitimate. Thus it
appears a configurable switch is needed to meet the needs on both sides.
This switch would ideally (in my mind) be at both the administrative level
and also with a markup override for a given page.
Suggested config switch:
$EnablePTVOptionFirstWins=1;
-or-
$PTVOptions['firstwins'] = 1;
Suggested markup:
(:PTVoption lastwins:) // if the non-default config option has been
chosen
(:PTVoption firstwins:)
This leaves a relatively flexible markup if there are other PTV options one
might want to set at some point in the future...
FWIW.
