OK. I understand the importance of the order when two or more regions contain the same nodes.

I have not understood the difference between using

'select' : 'vertices of surface -v (r.Inlet +v r.Outlet)', and 'select' : 'vertices of surface -f (r.Inlet +v r.Outlet)'. In the documentation on the sfepy website, I have seen the example:

'Gamma1' : ("""(cells of group 1 *v cells of group 2)
                   +v r.Right""", 'facet', 'Omega'),

Here, why is there a +v between (cells of group 1 *v cells of group 2) and r.Right instead of +f?

Just open it and display the variables with regions names.

No, it does not matter.

But in the boundary condition case, when regions overlap, you might want to
influence the order (i.e. which condition is actually applied in the overlap
nodes) - for this purpose, the ebcs are applied in the lexicographic order of
their names.
