   I can't answer your question definitively, JD, but I think the answer is
   "no".

I am not sure whether JD's question was whether it was _possible_ to
give overlays different priorities in general or whether it would be
OK to do so it in the particular case referred to.  In as far as the
first question is concerned, `(overlay-put OVERLAY 'priority VALUE)
should do it.  See `(elisp)Overlay Properties'.

Sincerely,
