The above-listed texture positions are interchangeable - that is to say, you don't have to have four different textures for airfields or cities/towns (esp. if your map has few of them); instead you can use these 'slots' for other textures.
It would be impossible to have landscapes like these, which barely show any repetition pattern, with only 3 terrain textures:

I presume you don't use any mods, like HSFX. If so, perhaps you should at least download a modded map just to see how it's built internally, esp. the load.ini file.
