If you know the order of the scripts are run based on the filename, and 
you notice "Amyscript" is executed before "bmyscript" then you can 
conclude that -for whatever reason you can investigate later- capital 
letters have preference (or viceversa), and so on...

Unless you're using a weird pattern for filenames (a mix of underscores, 
hyphens or numbers...) is not that hard :-)
