Well the priority ordering the logical was to give the end word to the last user
action.
It goes from global to specific
1/ the global options (infrastructures) are applied
2/ the maintainer option (ports are applied)
3/ the user global options are applied (OPTIONS_{,UN}SET)
4/ the user ports options are applied (${UNIQUENAME}_{,UN}SET)
5/ the dialog (make config) options are applied
If that it looks not good to anyone, please comment (we can still change it) and
please provide arguments.
