I haven't the faintest.  The standard certainly doesn't specify an
order.

But, we could use the point-of-instantiation (in the technical
standardese sense) to at least partially order these things, if we
thought that was worthwhile.  That would mirror the order I suggested
for explicit instantiations.  If two things have the same point of
instantiation, I don't see any basis for choosing one over the other.

What do you think?
