Is priority "n" already supported as next one???

I believe it would work, besides that you may wish that each gateway may 
only be used once at a time.
While the gateway may not bother if you use it twice, your accountant 
may, if they send you a second invoice for another flat rate.
The soltuion would be to use setgroup / checkgroup to make sure that 
each gateway is only used once at a time (or how many times you can allow)
