Thank you to Nancy Poehlmann to leading me to the answer.

In the Subject Cataloging Manual, section H80:

General rule. Assign the heading that represents the predominant topic of the work as the first subject heading. If the predominant topic cannot be represented by a single heading, assign as the first and second headings the two headings that, taken together, express the predominant topic. Although it is not significant which of the two is assigned first and which second, if one of the two more closely approximates the class number it is usually assigned first.

My understanding is classification is correlated with first subject heading am I correct.
If so where can I find this rule?

thanks
