RE: [dita] processing-role attribute [cascading]

I've got cascading on the brain and so ...

I assume that @processing-role itself does not cascade.

But does @processing-role="resource-only" change the cascading behavior for any other attributes or other properties?

Cascading within a map?

Cascading from map to map?

Cascading from map to topic?
