You have a mistaken concept of how mail filters work.

When a mail comes in, procmail (if it's invoked) will read .procmailrc and 
look for matched serach patterns for each rule it has. So, the important 
thing is which order you put the rules inside .procmailrc. The ones at the 
begining get procesed first, and the ones at the bottom later.

Understood?
