v8i print style fence from shape - CONTROL FIRST FOUND

Concerning how the print style arrives at what is the first found shape that will be used as a fence for the print:

I assumed that the print software would honor the order of logical names as a search order for shape finding, as laid out in the print style.  I found that is not the case.  So if not looking first in my first mentioned logical name, then next in my second logical name, ... and finally in the active file before giving up, then what is the search progression the developers have determined?
