REST routing precedence

[nickmarx12345678]

Would like some clarification with regards to how URL matching on the rest API occurs on URL's that developers create in their routes.xml

For example if:
route1 = GET /V1/myResource/:customerId
route2 = GET /V1/myResource/:customerId/subResource

It's not clear if requesting the url /V1/myResource/12345/subResource will map to route1 with a customerId parameter of 12345/subResource or if it will map to route2 with a customerId parameter of 12345

Similar permutations of this would be helpful to know as well such as:
route1 = GET /V1/myResource/:customerId
route2 = GET /V1/myResource/subResource
route3 = GET /V1/myResource/subResource/:subResourceId

It's unclear which will be called with what argument if I request /V1/myResource/subResource

Alternatively, it would be very helpful to add some sort of debug logging indicating what method is being routed to for a given rest request url

Please move your question to the Forum or Stack Exchange.

@piotrekkaminski suggestion to improve debugging.

@choukalos -- where would be the correct place to request improvements to the official documentation?
