Overlapping Shape Elements

The GKS Dimensioned Shape specifies the relative z-order of the shape elements.

Layer 0 = Basic Pattern = Z-Order 0/2
Layer 1 = Lowest knitting element of the GKS-Dimensioned Shape = Z-Order 1/2
Layer 2 = Highest knitting element of the GKS Dimensioned Shape = Z-Order 2/2
Which information win?

Higher layer against lower
Whole against dart, gore, and within shape
Dart against gore and within shape
Fading-out against Border Options
