Robert did confirm in the on-line manual, and I quote: "You should only use one type of EGTB - if you specify several in the UCI options, the last option will prevail. Houdini cannot use more than one type of EGTB at the time."

Perfect.
Well, depending on the GUI you use, you sometimes cannot avoid more than one GUI path being sent to Houdini, without also affecting other engines. For the version of ChessGUI that I use, if I prevent Houdini from using Gaviota and Nalimiov, then that action prevents the opponent engine from using them as well - and the opponent engine of course doesn't have Syzgy. There really should be a UCI parameter in Houdini where you explicitly choose which ones you want to use and the GUI cannot affect that.

Well, that isn't correct. In the above situation, Houdini is hitting the flash drive , which contains Nalimov and Gaviota. So be it, if I can't control what it uses, then it will use what it will use.
