I propose that Emacs uses the same mechanism as today. That means that
the order of the entries in `auto-mode-alist' is used.
Sorry, that is just a part of the answer. If you propose to do this
using auto-mode-alist, what are the items you think should be in
auto-mode-alist? And in what order?
But I want to give the user control over the order in `auto-mode-alist'.
When we figure out precisely what we would DO with `auto-mode-alist',
we could begin to think about whether such control is useful.

I think the only reasonable way to do it is to use mumamo. (Maybe CEDET
can change that in the future, but I rather think that CEDET and mumamo
should cooperate.)
If that means using the first of my proposals,
that only requires one item in `auto-mode-alist',
so there is no issue about the order of them.
