Additive Template Directive

The *Additive: directive defines the order of template definitions.

The Additive directive can have one of the following values:

  • MOST_RECENT. Only the most recent definition appears.

  • LEAST_RECENT. Only the least recent (first) definition appears.

  • MOST_TO_LEAST_RECENT. All definitions appear ordered from most to least recent.

  • LEAST_TO_MOST_RECENT. All definitions appear ordered from least to most recent.

If this directive is absent, a default value of MOST_RECENT will be assumed.

If this directive is itself multiply defined within a template or appears in several templates that are related by inheritance, only the most recently defined directive in the most derived template will be honored.
