I would personally put this in a plugin so that you didn't have to mess with
your actions, that way the site and feature should work whether you have
auth or not (i.e. as different situations may arise).
It's specified in the manual under plugins and controllers (I believe) as to
what order the calls are made, but also someone did a chart the other day
which is here:
http://www.nabble.com/Graph-showing-Action-Helpers,-Plugins-and-Controllers-lifecycle-along-dispatch-td20304504.html#a20613357
Or directly:
http://surlandia.com/2008/11/03/zend-framework-plugins-action-helpers-and-controllers-life-cycle-during-dispatch/
Which I think you will find very useful.
