It doesnt really matter as lyc said
On the other hand, as you get more practice, you will probably work out an order that works the best for you.
For example in the grand julian, one could first build and then add the blur, or the other way around, or even build in different order.
The effect of an iterator can also depend on the transforms used. For example, in the grand julian, the blur will not really affect the overall structure that much.
As for weight, they basically define how much each iterator affect the others:
- base weight is all other iterators (lower it, and your iterator will affect less your whole fractal)
- weight to other iterators (similar to base weight, but just affect 1 relationship at a time)
2 examples of weights fluxograms made by piethen21:

So, for example, on the first one, the weights would be (without the base wieght, just the iterator specific ones):
it 1: 1 1 0 0
it 2: 1 1 1 0
it 3: 1 0 0 1
it 4: 1 0 0 1
This is the work for the second one:
