Tiny parses rules in the order in which they're listed. It processes each rule, from the top down, until it reaches one that matches. When it can make a match, it stops processing immediately, applies that rule and moves on. No rules below the matching rule are even examined. Game over. Therefore, it's vitally important to understand that an exception to a general rule MUST precede the general rule, or it just won't work. If no rule matches and it reaches the end of the rule set, it will "slop over" to whatever default behavior you've selected if no match is found.
