Does anyoen know the exact order in which what you select is overridden by the other? (ie face/surface graphically, features in the tree...)Or is it just based on what was last selected?

Face trumps feature. Feature trumps part.
Component material (material applied to a part in an assembly) used to trump part color only, but circa SW2001+ or so I think it now trumps everything. To be honest, I always apply my materials to the part so I haven't had the opportunity to observe the behavior.
Not sure I understand the question but I assume you are refering to apply materials.
You can apply a material to an entire part or assembly by selecting the part or assembly name in the tree. All materials applied to a part (in an Assembly) overide materials applied to an assembly. A material applied to a feature in the tree overides the material applied to the part and a material applied to a face overides a material applied to a feature or the entire part.
Hope this is what you were looking for.
