Possible Duplicate:
Two css files defining same class

The answers to this question and this question state that when the same selector/property combination is specified in two different CSS files, the one in the file that is included last wins. My question is, is this behavior part of a standard (HTML or CSS), or is it simply the current behavior in the major browsers? I need to know if I can depend on this behavior across all browsers. If this is part of a standard, would you please reference the relevant section?

    Finally, sort by order specified: if two declarations have the same weight, origin and specificity, the latter specified wins.

    The same applies if they are in the same file.
