I do not think the order of the configuration will really matter , however having the etherchannel first will make sense so you can configure the trunk config under the port channel ( instead of doing it more than once )
you can have the etherchannel in access or trunk mode and it works both ways , in some situations some cutomers prefer to have the etherchannel connections part of single vlan (access mode ) for performance issues so the link does not have to carry traffic of multiple Vlans

Guys,
1) I tried it both ways and it worked. I dont think it matters, so far
you configure it in the right way.
2) I am not sure why you would want to configure an etherchannel
between two switches and make it an access port? Not a routed port?
Please would there be any situation when you would configure a link
between 2 switches and not make it either a trunk or a routed link?
Thanks
