+This order doesn't apply to :ref:`Control._gui_input() <class_Control_method__gui_input>`, which uses
+a different method based on event location or focused Control.
+
+Since Viewports don't send events to other :ref:`SubViewports <class_SubViewport>`, one of the following
+methods has to be used:
+
+1. Use a :ref:`SubViewportContainer <class_SubViewportContainer>`, which automatically
+   sends events to its child :ref:`SubViewports <class_SubViewport>` during
+   :ref:`Node._input() <class_Node_method__input>` and :ref:`Node._unhandled_input() <class_Node_method__unhandled_input>`.
+2. Implement event propagation based on the indivitual requirements.
+
 GUI events also travel up the scene tree but, since these events target
 specific Controls, only direct ancestors of the targeted Control node receive the event.
