I think the common behaviour is to respect the order of appearance on the commandline. So 'command -vvv -q' will be the same as 'command -q', while 'command -q -vvv' will be 'command -vvv'. Eg. ssh behaves like that, OTOH rsync does not and -q beats -vvv. I don't know about other commands that accept multiple -v and -q to get more samples. The usage pattern where order on command line matters is following the idea where there's a long line and adding -vvv to the end will make it verbose.
