well, size surely has some correlation with importance. For practical
reasons it is generally working quite well to have first render the bigger
stuff and then render the smaller stuff on top, because it leads typically
to less covering.

In this particular case more detailed mapping of the tree areas could solve
it, e.g. split the wood object at the cutting roads and waterways, but
admittedly in this case by looking at the bing aerial imagery it seems
indeed to be a continuity of trees on both sides of these.

cheers,
Martin
