Quote from virtual(5):
"Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
whitespace of comma. Tables will be searched in the specified
order until a match is found. Note: these lookups are recursive."
Thus, with "virtual_alias_maps = A, B, C", a match in B terminates
the search, meaning that B has precedence over C.
However, lookup is recursive. The above result from B will be used
for a subsequent query. That may still query A and B and C, finding
a result in C.
