org-publish-get-project-from-filename always returned the first matching
project. It still does so, but if one or more composite projects are
found, of which the files project is a component, the last composite is
returned instead. In that, it still does what it always did.

Yes, this depends on a certain kind of setup. But it's the setup from
the example in the docs, so I feel people will most likely use
that. Since one has to provide the `:publishing-function', the only way to
publish static content (e.g. images) AND dynamic content is to provide a
composite project.


The issue came up with org-exp-blocks.el [1]. ditaa blocks contain text,
that is changed, just to update an image. I never ran into this, simply
because I never used `C-c C-e P' [2].


The publishing of a composite project depends on the sequence of it's
`:components' anyway [3].

Maybe this should be mentioned in the docs at the end of section 13.2.2?

=> --->8----------------------------->8----------------------------->8---
'The `:components' in "website" are guaranteed to be published in the
sequence provided.'
<= ---8<-----------------------------8<-----------------------------8<---




All the best,

=--- Footnotes: ---------------

 [1]  There are more `up-to-date issues' in the publishing (e.g. an
      #+INCLUDE index.org). Yet, we shouldn't open each and every file
      in a project just to be shure to have everything up to date (the
      user could still use `touch' or write a publishing function that
      does so). This is OK. Org-mode cannot _think_ for people,
      publishing a complex WEB project.

 [2]  I never open my org-notes using the real path. I have link 'notes'
      in my home directory pointing to ~/emacs/org/notes/.

 [3]  Org-mode can't guess - there is no `right' sequence.
