I know this because I have a selectionChanged handler in both the object and it's behavior, and a breakpoint in each handler. The breakpoint is triggered in the object handler, and NOT in the behavior handler, as you might expect!

That's the way object-oriented programming works. You set the default 
operation in the behavior script and then you can override it in the 
object if needed. I think of behavior scripts more or less as private 
backscripts of an object.

Otherwise, just follow Brian's suggestion.
