Duplicate "object" definition

[Alex Zetaeffesse]

Hi all,

I apologize if I don't use the right terminology.
I'm playing/testing with 3.2.6 to better understand how freeradius behaves
when finding duplicate definitions.
I created a copy of the filter policy, calling it policy.d/filter2 and I
defined the object/policy filter_username in this way:

filter_username {
        if (&User-Name) {
                reject
        }
}

Now, when in the directory policy.d I only have the file filter2, I always
get the expected Access-Reject, if I just have the default file filter I
get Access-Accept (the user is correctly configured in the file users).
If I have both files (filter and filter 2), when I launch radiusd -X I get,
the file filter is loaded first and then the file filter2

...

*including configuration file /etc/freeradius/policy.d/filter     <<<*including
configuration file /etc/freeradius/policy.d/operator-name
including configuration file /etc/freeradius/policy.d/eap
including configuration file /etc/freeradius/policy.d/debug
including configuration file /etc/freeradius/policy.d/accounting

*including configuration file /etc/freeradius/policy.d/filter2    <<<*
...

and I always get Access-Accept.
How are duplicate objects treated? Is the first definition that's retained
or the last? From my experiment it seems the first is retained.
May you please confirm?

Regards,

Alex
