Yes I agree (see below), this is probable best done by creating our own
templates as making it part of the program could lead to unexpected
results for those who don't understand how the automatic precedence is
implemented

Interesting thought, but I'm not sure what criteria you'd use to
automatically determine precedence?  Seems to me it might be just as
time consuming to modify automatic settings than to set them manually
from the start unless you're using the tool in some sort of unusual way.

My initial thought on this is it might make more sense for you to create
some project templates if you have standard tasks or a methodology that
gets followed every time.
