I bet, yum is using the ConfigParser module here, which unfortunately 
doesn't have a concept of order (priority). I typically circumvent this 
issue by using section names like [01_base], but doesn't know, if this 
will also work with yum, since it requires some internal preparations 
(add sections to a list, and sort it by name). Another way would be 
using an entry like "priority = xx" in each section and sort by its 
(numeric) value. The fine python source is your best friend..

Note: I'm on SuSE which means maintaining local repos anyway. They're 
either all accessible or none ;-)..
