The default between two conditional arguments like -type f or -name xyz is AND.
You can explicitely write -type f -a -name xyz.
The AND makes it necessary to evaluate the second condition if the first condition evaluated TRUE.
The AND has precedence over the -o OR.
If you want to evaluate an OR before an AND you need to work with parenthesis (that must be quoted to escape their special meaning in the shell).
