Default DIY brake job sequence

I'm about to do a complete pad/rotor/flush for the first time on my 2001 S4, Any advice on what to do first? My novice guess would be:
reset front calipers while the rotors are on for leverage
remove pads, calipers, rotors and replace
remove rear calipers and reset with tool
remove rotor and replace
then flush the system using vacuum bleader starting with driver front and working my way around

Any major flaws in my thinking? All help is appreciated!

Jason - very helpful link, thanks. Of course all went well until the very last bolt was stuck then stripped by me. Off to get a replacement so if/when I can get it out I will not have to reuse it.
