PHP-DI: Does in any way matter, in which order the definition files are loaded into the container?

I plan to have many definitions files (e.g. configuration files), in separate directories and multiple-level subdirectories. Let's suppose, that these files will contain many complex definition situations - so to say.

So I would like to ask: Does IN ANY WAY matter, in which order the definitions files are loaded into the container?

Note: The definitions found in configuration files corresponding to a certain application environment (like 'prod', 'dev', etc) will always override the "normal" definitions. So, this should not be of relevance for an eventual answer.

Thank you.

Solution

Yes the order matters as this constitutes the basis for the "module" system in PHP-DI.

See http://php-di.org/doc/definition-overriding.html to understand how definitions can extend and override each others.
