Chef - Attribute Precedence when using multiple roles

I am using Chef for my production environment. I am aware of the standard attribute precedence that Chef has implemented, defined here:

http://docs.chef.io/attributes.html#attribute-precedence

The default attribute presedence is as follows:

Attribute files -> Node / Recipe -> Environment -> Roles

But what happens when I have a run_list containing multiple roles? Example:

"run_list": [ "role[webserver]", "role[dbserver]" ]

Which of the above default_attributes (defined in both roles) has precedence over the other?

Thanks!

This depends on how your attribute structures are defined in your roles. http://docs.chef.io/attributes.html#about-deep-merge
