Priority for routes does not override resource statements

#5870

I have these routes

match 'subjects/new(/account/:account_id)' => "subjects#new", :as => :new_subject, :via => :get
resources :subjects

based on the priority it should process first statement and generate both these

new_subject_path(:account_id => 1) => subjects/new/account/1
new_subject_path => subjects/new

but it doesn't. the second one overrides the first one and does this

new_subject_path(:account_id => 1) => subjects/new?account_id=1
new_subject_path => subjects/new => subjects/new

    The generated url helpers from the resources call overwrite the one from the previous route. It's just like redefining a method. If you use url_for it will match the first route, e.g:

      url_for(:controller => 'subjects', :action => 'new', :account_id => 1)
