Good that you have an answer that works for you; thanks for confirming that.

Correct, it is not. Inheritance goes from http to server, from server to
location, and from location to nested-location; and does not go between
parallel locations.

One request is handled in one location; and only the config in that
location, or inherited in to it, applies.
