I've notice that with the myfaces impl (not sure if same is true for sun) that faces-config.xml are loaded from jars in alphabetical order. So to get my view handler registered as the outermost I named my jar zzz-jar.jar. I wish there was some form of "depends" notation for faces-config.xml files to enforce order.
