Any packetfilter, firewall or other type of network control flows in the
order the rules are set. So to answer your question, yes.  If you are using
access lists - the order matters. If you are doing multiple conduit
statements to a single host the order matters.  So when you define the
rules, make sure you are aware of the order..

Hi, I'm not a PIX expert, but the rule order is important for most the
firewalls I know (IBM, Lucent, etc). So, I thnk you should define your rules
having in mind what you wanna secure and how.
