This is actually a FAQ. (I remember more sentences like this exist, that especially for non-English speakers might be difficult to interpret.)
My proposal would be: If a recipe exists in multiple layers, the recipe with highest PV *from the layer with the highest priority* is selected. Be aware that recipes with the same PN in lower priority layers are thus not selected, *even if their PV is higher*. Regards, Leon.
