Label priority

Labels are placed into the cache as layers are processed- they have to be, and then the
cache is processed in reverse order so that features in the last layer drawn (i.e. the top layer) 
are labeled first. I've not had problems with it.

   Hi, ppl

   The manual says that the first labels declared have
priority when caching is on, but that's not happening
in my application. When I turn on another layar wich
is declared *after* the "cities" layer, the names in
it (the "cities" layer, declared first) are not
getting drawn. Did anybody have this problem?
   ...And since we are talking about the priorities on
the map file, shouldn't the labels enter in the cache
on the reverse order?? Because, since the last layer
to be declared stay on top, their labels should be the
most important in the cache.
