I always assume the order of includes was intentional to provide a priority from low to high:

  - platform defaults in config.mak.uname

  - auto-detected defaults in config.mak.autogen

  - explict user-provided settings in config.mak

  - command-line overrides when you're trying to debug something. ;)

The last one is due to "make" being sensible, but the rest come from our order in the Makefile.
