That's something that didn't become clear to me from reading the documentation. Some of my entries match many groups while others match only one particular group which may also be matched by a more generic entry. I was wondering whether the order in which the entries appear in the list matters or not and if there was any influence to a particular group from all the matches or not. Then there are little glitches to make things more difficult to figure out, like (gcc-self . "some.group") being ignored when the group has a posting style that sets headers. Your example with the inheritance would be great to have in the documentation.
