If you mean dumptype, yes.  IIRC, the values overridden by the last
dumptype prevail.  In fact, a dumptype name becomes an alias to all

It is.  dumptype options are processed as the file is read, and a
dumptype name becomes an option only after it is defined.

Nope.  The first one cannot refer to a dumptype that comes before it,
since there isn't any :-)
