htaccess files are linear .. Meaning the directive nearest the bottom of the page will override a directive above it if they are the same, IE:

AllowOverride All

Then 

AllowOverride None

The AllowOverRide None would be the one the file "executes" since it is below AllowOverride All .. Conversely, an .htaccess file with the same directives but in a sub-directory will override the the .htaccess directives in the directory above if the directives exist in both .htaccess files.
