Question Permissionsex Ladder Setup

Wondering about the ladder setup. I'm wondering with ladders, on the lowest rank in the ladder, and I put in inherits from default which is not in any ladder, will the rank inherit from that? Or do I have to copy everything from the default non-ladder rank to the first ladder rank? This is what I got so far, and I been working on cleaning it up, so there isn't any repeat nodes.

Any help will be appreciated, I plan to put the master/elite and add a few more into its own ladder, along with a donator ladder that has the same ranks, but gets the suffix Donator. I know how to do the suffix.
