Starting in 10.11.3 the new script-library search-domain order is:

1. The bundle of the script that references the library.
2. The bundle of the application process that is running the script that references the library.
3. The OSA_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
4. The user domain: ~/Library
5. The local domain: /Library
6. The network domain: /Network/Library
7. The system domain: /System/Library
8. Application bundles: ./Contents/Library

Application bundles are now searched last. That's the only change to the order.
