Composite domains, merging vertices and cumulative selections

I have been using livelink to automatically generate complex 2D shapes. The result is made out of multiple segments, identified by cumulative selections, which fit together almost entirely flush. However there is a complication, that results in a few tiny overlaps, these overlaps form their own domain which is not good for meshing and make selecting domains harder in some cases.
I've been taking a look at creating composite domains, however one issue I noticed is that if I fuse an overlapping domain to another, the new domain is attributed to all cumulative selections that are covered by the input domains. Is there a simple way to trim domains so that one feature takes precedent over another?

An update, I found that using compose works very well. simply set each segment to be itself subtracted by any intersections it has with previous segments.
