Or you could do this:
set rtp^=.vim/xpt rtp+=.vim/xpt/after
to add it before what is already there and allow it to contain an
|after-directory| added after all the rest.
See ":help :set^="
Beware, however, that the more directory trees are mentioned in
'runtimepath' and the longer it will take Vim to find its runtime
scripts and help files.
