Routes don't get ignored, they simply don't match and are skipped.

what's a real/unsimplified example of what you're trying to do?

If your real example is for pages (?) why not simply use a url. /foo -
it's a lot simpler that way you _know_ what you want it's not really
dependent on routes at all, and it's faster.

check your routes are actually loaded - put debug statements in the
Router class, for example. or checkout a previous version of your app
and determine where things went south (git bisect).
