Thank you again. Now I am even more confused.

3. I found that if I write \definefontfamily [docuf] [mm] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math] before \definefallbackfamily lines, the latter have no effect. Is this normal? Shouldn't the order of definition lines be indifferent? The fallbackfamily settings are applied to a typeface and the \definefontfamily commands creates the typeface, without \definefontfamily the fallbacks are never used because there is no font which can use the settings.

Sorry, but I don't understand the answer. If I have the code:

\definefallbackfamily [documentfont] [mm] [Tex Gyre Adventor] [preset=math:lowercaseitalic] \definefontfamily [documentfont] [mm] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math]

then Tex Gyre Adventor font is used for math (\definefallbackfamily has effect).

If I have this code:

\definefontfamily [documentfont] [mm] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math] \definefallbackfamily [documentfont] [mm] [Tex Gyre Adventor] [preset=math:lowercaseitalic]

then Tex Gyre Pagella is used for math (\definefallbackfamily has no effect).

According to your answer the opposite should happen, shouldn't? I am confused.

The \definefontfamily command creates a typeface which is used to load a font but after this point you can’t make changes to it. The \definefallbackfamily command let you assign additional characters for a font but this has to happen before the font is loaded, therefore \definefallbackfamily needs before \definefontfamily in the document.
