using " any" as interface on policy

how does fortigate determine order of policies when the interface is specified as " any" ? I am running with the global setting " set internal-switch-mode interface" and I want to take advantage of using " any" as interface to cut down on the number of policies I have to create. Are there any performance issues?

The egress interface, in that case will be determined via the routing rules. The packet will take the the direction specified by the routing table. In the case of multiple options then the tie will be split based on the configured ECMP behavior.

Exactly. Routing will be run before Policy. So FortiGate knows the destination interface from the routes.
