Well, I would say that you can add contact info without adding a user (multiple contacts, right?) but you can't add a user without adding contact info. So, it seems to me that you first instantiate the user and then instantiate the contact info entry, not the other way around (i.e., AddUser() first).
Some reasons why: 1) What if you want to add a second contact later? Your class may not support this now, but if you want to add the ability to do it, you would have to rework things significantly if you called AddContactInfo() first. 2) If you call AddContactInfo() first and it calls AddUser() automatically, what if AddUser() throws an error? Then you are stuck with an orphaned contact entry.

Should I call AddUser() which in turn calls AddContactInfo()? OR, should I call AddContactInfo() first, then take the ContactID and pass it into AddUser()?
