Precedence doesn't really come into play with the two sets of definitions. The definitions in rundig are for the purpose of tasks carried out by the script. Those in htdig.conf are used by the various ht://Dig programs. Note that rundig is provided simply as an example of how one might create a database using the ht://Dig programs. I believe it even includes a comment to the effect that it is a sample script. The variables defined in the script are specific to the script itself and have no relevance beyond their use in the script.
