As shown in video, the blog posts page are both affected by front-page.php and home.php. What if the two templates conflict with each other?

<p>Hello, Jack Ko.</p>

Take a look at awesome WordPress template hierarchy page. It's beautiful shown how templates works in WP.

<p>As I understand it, those pages wouldn't conflict with each other, because only one page would load at a time.

For example,</p> if front-page.php has been set, then it loads it, if that page has not been set then it's load home.php and if home.php is also missing, it then loads index.php.
