Rule execution, priorities

+The answer is in Mail Help:+
+If you have multiple rules, they're applied in the order in which they appear in the Rules list. Drag a rule in the list to change its order. Mail stops applying rules to a message when the message is transferred to another mailbox, or if the Stop Evaluating Rules action is specified.+

Mail retrieves from several addresses I have at the top of my rules list and things are distributed from there. According to Mail Help (thanks, M), maybe I should place this main distribution vein at the bottom as last priority. Then incoming mail would be dropped in their individual boxes (currently set as lower priority rules) and whatever wasn't specified would land in the main inbox specified for that address.
Does that sound correct?
