Look at Redbook SG24-5416-01 "Getting Started with Tivoli Storage Manager:
Implementation Guide"
p.153 (p.173 in the pdf)
7.3.1 Considerations
"The options defined in a client option set are a subset of the available
client options. Options such as communications are still stored on the
client machine. When the same individual option is specified in both the
local options file and the option set, the default is that the options file
version is used. However, you can specify that individual options in an
option set cannot be overridden in the client's local option file. Although
include-exclude specifications cannot be overridden, you can specify the
sequence in which the option set specifications are processed. Therefore,
one set of default values can be defined for each type of client, and the
client machines can still be customized, within acceptable limits."
Still saying this is a redbook everyone has to read.

Subject:        Client Options Set vs. Client Options File

This should be easy, but apparently I cannot locate a confirmed answer on
this one - during client backup, which is read first?
