+The order in which the Query types are extended does not affect the compilation of separate schema files. However, declaring custom Query, Mutation, and/or Subscription extensions with the same field names in another schema file will result in schema validation errors similar to the following:
`🛑 Object type extension 'Query' cannot redeclare field getBlogById`

-Amplify directives are currently not supported on the extended type definitions. You can use the extend keyword to organize custom queries, mutations, and subscriptions that use [custom resolvers](https://docs.amplify.aws/gen1/react/build-a-backend/graphqlapi/best-practice/batch-put-custom-resolver/).
+4. Add functionality to the fields of the extended type using Amplify directives. Amplify supports the `@auth`, `@function`, and `@http` directives on fields of `Query`, `Mutation`, and `Subscription` type extensions. Alternately, you can use the `extend` keyword to organize custom queries, mutations, and subscriptions that use [custom resolvers](https://docs.amplify.aws/gen1/react/build-a-backend/graphqlapi/best-practice/batch-put-custom-resolver/) rather than Amplify directives.

+Amplify directives are not supported on extended type definitions themselves (e.g., `extend type Todo @auth...`), or on fields of types other than `Query`, `Mutation`, and `Subscription`.
