My testing (confirmed just now), suggests that it is the first element
which is respected, not the last. I tested the gsch2pcb backend directly
running it with "gnetlist -g gsch2pcb ...."

Which version of gEDA are you using, and can you confirm you're seeing
use the last object in prescience to any others?

If we're seeing different behaviours, either something has changed
without us realising (bad), or the ordering is less determinate than I
thought.


Ales and I agree I think, that the correct solution here, is to teach
gnetlist to take the union of attributes from all slots for points where
it is retrieving attributes of a component by name.

I don't know what might happen in the case where two slots had
conflicting attributes. Perhaps this is something for a design rule
checker to highlight.
