yeah, you start from the farthest away from the booster and go to the closest

unless you have a electronic brake booster like i do at work, you hook up all hoses to the valves and a hose to the booster reservouir and press start and it literally takes less than 5 min to suck system dry, replace fluid, and bleed it automatically. its freaking awesome

the way I like to do it is buy 4, 1 man bleeders they are available at most auto parts stores just fill the cups above the bottom hose in each cup and top off the master cylinder then open all 4 bleeders and pump about 10 times then refill mater repeat refill repeat by this time the cups will be near full and the brake fluid will be all new!

I guess you would need to see the bleeder cups. to understand fully. I looked for them at Advance and they didnt have any but most parts stores will.
