Samsung firmware flashing..sequential?

Hi,
This is quite a specific question so no one may be able to help but here goes in faith.
I have a Samsung phone, its a US model so doesn't get carrier triggered updates. I have worked out how to find the latest firmwares and use Odin to update manually successfully. No big deal.
I have got a few updates behind, so the question is, do later updates include past updates, or do I have to go through all of them sequentially until the current one?
My gut say it should have all of them in the latest file as its 6gb so probably complete firmware. Any 'flashers' know if this is the case or the update is like a Windows one that just mods the affected bits?

AFAIK they have to be sequentially. When I update my spare phone, which is used less often, if there is another as well as the current update, it does the older one first then the current.
However doing it via Odin may, as you think, have them all included in the update file.Drinking Rum before 10am makes you
