local prefrenece question

when you are setting the local preference for traffic exiting your AS to
another AS, is it necessary in the route map to have the as path listed?

route-m local pref permit 10
match as-path 1
set local pref 200

ip as-path access-l permit ^54$.................54 being the AS that you are
routing to?...the reason i ask is i'm not sure what would happen if you were
connected to multiple AS's with more than on exit point...how would the
process know which AS you are referring too? <ok, now that i'm thinking about
it, the connected neighbor that calls the route-map "neighbor 1.2.3.4 route-m
localpref in'" can only belong to 1 AS any was.......but i'm still wondering
if it is good practice to indicate the as-path in the route-map>........
