The order (in the zones file) makes a difference, but you should also
tell shorewall that two is a subzone of one by specifying them in
two:one format in the zones file.

You can see which zone is being processed first by running
        shorewall show eth0_in
or      shorewall show eth0_fwd

See http://www.shorewall.net/Documentation.htm#Zones for more
information about zone ordering.
