It does work from top to bottom, with one exception. So you're 99%  
right. The exception is the location of the "default" rule is  
unimportant. So if you're auto-generating the ruleset, you don't have  
to remember to put the default rule at the bottom, it could just as  
well be at the top and have the same effect.
But don't worry too much about that feature, you will know when you  
need it :-)
