Is there something wrong with using many Varients in the node override?

Here is my situation:

I have around 5 content types, all with different page layouts. In node override I created 5 varients using content type for relationship.

After creating around 4 of the node types... I started having issues with my views appearing. If I had... say... an image, the node body & 2 views content panes... maybe only 1 of the views content pane would appear. So I just carried on, and would revisit the issue later.

Then created the 5th content type. Now the 5th node type will not respond to the panel at all, and they're just showing as a typical node page. So then I disabled all the over varients (except the 5th)... and suddenly it responded. Next, I tried enabling one other varient to see what would happen... and the 5th would not work anymore and it just shows as a typical node page.

Am I using this wrong?

Are you sure that the selection criteria are working correctly? Remember that they are tested sequentially and the first one that matches gets used, so it's possible that one is being selected early because the rules are too loose?

That was sort of it.

I am pairing this with Domain Access... and for anybody else who this "may" happen to...

My content types were called out correctly, and while I do have " All Criteria must pass" as a selection rule... the domain access as a selection criteria was acting funny and messing everything up for some reason.

After removing the "domain access" selection criteria, and only using "content type"... both of my problems are fixed.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Merlin!!!
