This means that you must be a 100% sure that there is nothing in MAIN 
that can/should be overriden by something in DIST.

Personally, I do DIST before MAIN and that means that DIST (as well as 
LOCAL and HOME) are responsible for any overriding of stuff in MAIN. 
This has worked well for me in the past.

It is a trade-off but the HOME,LOCAL,DIST,MAIN has worked well for me.
