If there are multiple files in a wildcard pattern, what order are they resolved? I know for classpath loading, for example, it’s in directory order, which is file system dependent, and often based on the order the files were written to the directory and/or the size of the directory inode. Lots of fun figuring out why the wrong version of a class is consistently loaded on one or two servers out of twenty. (Always check your classpaths for duplicates kids.)
