Problem conclusion
The faulty logic has been changed so that the options associated with a parent closest to a VM override any higher-level options in conflict. For example, if a folder A has an option associated with it and has a child, folder B, which has the same option associated with it, the VM contained in folder B will inherit the option from folder B (i.e., the option from folder B will override the option from folder A). This inheritance is also true for any other object in the hierarchy, such as a data center. Any non-conflicting options will be inherited by the VM as normal (i.e., non-conflicting options will not be overridden).
