Please forgive me for my stupidity. I'll reply my question.

A simple test reveals the priority order is:

~/.emacs.elc -> ~/.emacs.el -> ~/.emacs -> ~/.emacs.d/.emacs.elc ->
~/.emacs.d/.emacs.el -> ~/.emacs.d/.emacs

My testing method:

I just copy my ~/.emacs.el as ~.emacs, ~/.emacs.d/~.emacs.el &
~/.emacs.d/.emacs.

At the beginning of each file, I add a

(setq iam "~/.emacs.el") <- Change this to reflect the real path/name

And I byte-compiled ~/.emacs.el to ~/.emacs.elc and ~/.emacs.d/.emacs.el
to ~/.emacs.d/~.emacs.elc. Then I open two .elc files and manually
change iam to .elc file names as:

(setq iam "~/.emacs.elc")
(setq iam "~/.emacs.d/.emacs.elc")

Then I start emacs, and within *scratch* buffer, evaluate `iam.
First evaluation shows "~/emacs.elc"
then I close Emacs, and delete ~/.emacs.elc
and reiterate this stupid test

At last, I find the priority order.

Wish this test can amuse other newbies with the same newbiety as me.
