Access Rules Priorities

I was wondering if someone could tell me how access rules priorities are defined? Does the most specific win? Does ordering matter? From what I have read the following rules should allow just the one ip address (192.168.1.100) to connect. Is that correct?

Deny *.*.*.*
Allow 192.168.1.100

Would it matter if the order was swapped? i.e.

Allow 192.168.1.100
Deny *.*.*.*

How about the following rules? Would the IP address 192.168.1.101 be allowed or blocked? How about if the rules were reversed?

Deny 192.168.1.101
Allow 192.168.1.101

Thanks in advance for any clarification.
