Yes, the sheen is determined by the top coat (assuming it is applied
heavily enough to actually make a decent film thickness); i.e.,
varnish does not melt into preceding coats as do lacquer and
shellac. Since the semi-gloss has a matting agent in it it must be
thoroughly stirred before application else you are putting on more
glossy.

"Most" varnishes do not meld in to the previous coats. Gel varnishes
do in fact meld into preceding coats. With gel varnishes you do not
have to scuff the precious coat before applying the next and you can
repair a previous coat that may have a glob that you missed while
wiping by simply applying more of the gel varnish to that area. That
glob will soften and smooth out.

That's interesting, I didn't know that. So one could French polish with it?
I may have to break down and try some
