So, this is no longer true:

4.4. Project symbol table
Your project has its own private symbol, like any component, and can 
export any of its classes to the global symbol table by using the EXPORT 
keyword.
The project classes are loaded after all components. So your exported 
class can override any exported classes declared in any component.
