It is documented that in case a variable has both file-local and
directory-local settings, the file-local value will be used. See
(info "(emacs)Directory Variables") (at the bottom).

Otherwise, it is kind of undetermined, I believe. Every package (author)
is free to call `hack-local-variables', `hack-dir-local-variables' or
`hack-connection-local-variables' in any order.

Best regards, Michael.
