title: Magento: Prioritize Module Loading
body: <p>There is an existing third-party module that overrides existing Mage functionalities. Let's call it "Foo". Obviously, it resides in the local folder in order to override Core functionalities. As I started working on the project, I had yet to create another module to override few features of the Foo module. Let's call it "Bar". Both are successfully loaded (backend says it is loaded). The problem is that Foo module still takes precedence over Bar and Bar modules don't seem to work. I have two questions regarding this:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Am I right to speculate that Magento prioritize modules not only by 
  Core, Enterprise, local model but also in reverse alphabetical
  order, that is, even if both modules are in local folder, Foo
  superceeds Bar?</p></li>
  <li><p>If this is true, how can I make Bar have precedence over Foo module?</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks and hoping somebody could shed some light on this issue.</p>
