If you mean which of two recipes with the same name will be selected, it will 
be the same as if the recipes were in the same layer - i.e. other mechanisms 
such as the version number (higher is preferred); DEFAULT_PREFERENCE (if 
specified); or PREFERRED_VERSION_recipename will be used to determine which 
gets selected.

In general if one of these layers is under your control you are probably best 
advised to set the priority different there as desired, or use 
PREFERRED_VERSION to explicitly choose the desired version for recipes which 
are overlayed.

Cheers,
Paul
