MACL-135M + 3 dimmers - Does order of brass/black wires matter on middle switches?
I’m replacing 4 switches for a light with MACL-153M along with 3 x companion dimmers. Currently, it’s 2 x 4-way switches in middle and 2 x 3-way switches on the ends.
For the replacement, I understand the wiring for the blue common terminals (going to use the white wires) and which one is the black load/line on the 2 x 3-way ends, but on the 4-way middle switches I’m not sure which of the two black wires is the line in and which is the load out.
The diagram from a Lutron says to wire the “line” to the “black” terminals of the middle two switches and “loads” to the “brass” terminal.

Question: Assuming I put the MACL-135M on one end, with companions in the middle, does it matter if the brass and black wires are reversed for the two middle switches? I can use my voltage tester and turn the circuit back on (with switches disconnected) but seems like a waste if this doesn’t matter. What happens if they are reversed?
