The order of repositories in the file matters; repositories listed first will
take precedence over those listed later in the file when packages in two
repositories have identical names, regardless of version number.
A common way to define DB locations utilizes the 'Include' directive. For each
repository defined in the configuration file, a single 'Include' directive can
contain a file that lists the servers for that repository.
--------
[core]
# use this repository first
Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/core/os/arch
# next use servers as defined in the mirrorlist below
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

During parsing, pacman will define the `$repo` variable to the name of the
current section. This is often utilized in files specified using the 'Include'
directive so all repositories can use the same mirrorfile.
