Comment (by eschnett):

 The Cactus documentation says:
 {{{
 \item{} The parameter file is read \emph{sequentially} from top to bottom,
         this means that if you set the value of a parameter twice in
         the parameter file, the second value will be used. (This is
         why the \texttt{ActiveThorns} parameter is always first in the
 file).
 }}}

 Please update this.

 There are also many instances in the users' guide which speak of
 ActiveThorns as "the first parameter being set". If we allow this to be
 set multiple times, and if this is commonly used, then this should be
 mentioned as well.
