For me it depends on what muscle groups I'm working. For example, when you are talking back & chest I would do them opposite of each other (ie, one chest exercise then one back exercise) until the routine is over.
However if I am doing two muscle groups that can have a direct impact on each other I will do the larger one first then the smaller one. For example on a day like back & biceps, I do all my back exercises first, then I will finish off with some bicep exercises. If I did it the other way my biceps would not be able to keep up with the weight I need to use for back and then my back would suffer.
I think the order of the routine directly depends on what muscle groups you are working and what your goals are. If you are just toning then the weight you are using shouldnt be high enough to really detriment the other muscle group to the point where you dont feel like you are getting a good workout.
Hope that was what you were looking for.
