Let me refine that for you ...

The modules in each directory on the module path must be unique.   A 
module with a specific name in a directory on the module path will 
shadow (hide) any other module with the same name in a later directory 
on the path.

So, the order of directories on the module path matters (just like the 
order of entries on a class path matters), but the "order" of entries 
within any specific directory on the module path does not matter.
