They're just like ACLs: first match applies. From the man page, undef
"FILTER RULES":

  As  the  list  of  files/directories to transfer is built, rsync checks
  each name to be transferred against the list  of include/exclude  pat-
  terns in turn, and the first matching pattern is acted on

So to rsync just specific directories one's rules might read (however
expressed):

  + /dir1
  + /dir2
  - /*

to do just dir1 and dir2.
