This is because although you select the helper app by name, the system
recognizes it by creator type. All Applescript applets have the same
creator type, so whichever is the last one created on the disk will be
called.

The cure is to assign a unique creator type to your applet; you can do
this with any of a number of utilities, or with Applescript itself.

I am curious, though, as to what processing this applet does.
