Bind grabs the wrong zone file.

Here is my situation.

I have a zone for example.com.  Everything works fine and
I have a record for www.example.com.  Very easy very basic.

Now someone else creates a zone for 'www.example.com.'  When they
create an A record for their base domain they just hijacked the 
'www' A record from the 'example.com' domain.

Is this what Bind is supposed to do?  I always thought that it 
was supposed to look for 'example.com' first and then see if there
is a NS record for 'www.example.com' before it would actually look
for a zone for 'www.example.com'.

Can someone please fix my arrogance in this.

Thanks for all help in understanding this.
