To be a little pedantic, the cascade includes both of those things so it's incorrect to say they override the cascade. My understanding of the cascade is that it includes all the following steps:

1. Sort by importance (i.e. !important or not)
2. Sort by specificity
3. Sort by source order

That is, the 'cascade' represents this whole process of resolution.

That would be the LAST style that is most relevant to the element. (unless
!important is used to override the cascade.)

rules with greater specificity will override the cascade too
