By working on Pd's manual, I can see the current priority is to look first in the directory containing the patch, then in the search paths. I still want to maintain that structure. I just think that the order of the paths should be different, first with "standard paths" (which includes 'extra') then the user added paths.
I think you are right that the core "extra" externals should have priority.
I was trained by operating systems and programming languages that order is usually from local to global. I don't quite see why <pd-root>/extra should have priority. Is it considered more local than what I have in my home folder or part of my project?
