I think that creator ---> type ----> extension.
e.g. if you want to turn an .m4a into a file that iTunes will
recognize as an audiobook, it is not enough to change the extension
to .m4b. You'll also need to change the type code -- select the
file in the Finder and Command-I or use SuperGetInfo.
That, I guess, must have something to do with the iTunes DB and a
specific type-based association. The general hierarchy is, or at
least recently was:
creator -> extension -> type
...or, more specifically:
custom setting -> creator -> extension -> type
