Doubts in setting matlab path

Hello ppl,

I have some doubts while setting the path for matlab. The default path is ...../Matlab I have several folders inside this folder . LEt A,B,C,D be the subfolders all these have the same functions but a slight modification inside it (just a number change in constant defined inside these functions). I used to work randomly with the sub folders .

Each time i setted up the path def file inside A,B,c,D . Now the question is

if i run a function

*function Dyn(X)
....
filip(y) %%subfunction 
end*

in subfolder A , and the matlab path is at /Matlab/D, it runs , and i am not sure whether it uses the filip(y) from folder A or D ?

What should i do now ?

Thanks in advance

http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/function-precedence-order.html answers your question exactly. I believe MATLAB looks in the current directory first and then looks at other directories based on its order in the path.

Give this command:

which -all filip

and it will tell you the order.
