Public bug reported:

Supporting many virtual hosts on the same server often requires use of
wildcards. In this case, the order of virtual hosts matters. For
example, a web application which serves multiple domains simultaneously
might be configured with a ServerName of * and if other domains are also
to be served by the same Apache server they must be loaded prior to this
one.

This requirement may be even more necessary on a development machine
where many different sites must be active which wouldn't exist on a
single production server.

One solution to forcing order is to place all virtual hosts in a single
.conf file. Another is to prepend an order code to the vhost conf files
(e.g., 1-siteone, 2-sitetwo) so they are parsed in the required order.

Rapache obviously does not (yet) support the former. I see only a single
vhost in Rapache for my single .conf file with many vhosts defined.
Perhaps the latter method can be used if order is specified.
