depends on the order:

  acl time1 08:00-16:30... (dont know the correct syntax :))
  acl time1 12:00-13:00...

- first situation:
  http_access deny time1
  http_access allow time2

Assume, it is 12:30. Then the first rule with time1 will match, so it will
be denied.

- second situation:
  http_access allow time2
  http_access deny time1

Assume, it is 12:30. Then the first rule with time2 will match, so it will
be allowed.
