Well, anecdotally, jaclaz managed to lock himself out at least once by doing that, if I recall correctly it was due to a conflict between the assignment of ethernet interfaces to LAN or WAN interface-list (which is in the early part of an export) and the mac server winbox while experimenting with VRF's. Of course it is possible that either the pre-existing or the applied configuration was botched beyond the imaginable, still it happened, and since then I started paying attention to what I copy and paste, and in which order I do that, maybe it is excessive, cannot say. But the configurations I was testing with were - when compared to many of the ones I see posted on the board - very simple, so I adopted a better be safe then sorry approach.What jaclaz writes is not correct, you CAN apply the exported config in the same order as it was exported.
