[yocto] setting of BBPATH differs between ref manual and actual layer.conf file

  admittedly picky but the ref manual here:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html#usingpoky-changes-layers

shows a sample setting of BBPATH in yocto's layer.conf:

  BBPATH := "${BBPATH}:${LAYERDIR}"

however the actual layer.conf for yocto reads:

  BBPATH := "${LAYERDIR}:${BBPATH}"

should the ordering be consistent here?  should readers be warned
about the (admittedly remote) possibility of weirdness if they happen
to try to include two layers with the same name?  is that even
possible?  does any of this even matter?
