I need to see a full example of what you are trying to do to fully 
understand the problem as you see it.

You can have as many rule selectors and action blocks with [..] in your 
style and they will all be run before other rules that are placed after 
them in the file.

But the name command is like the add command, the first time you call it
with an argument that exists will set the name.  If you don't want that 
to happen then don't use it and use the set command instead.
