Flush /bleed brake lines or clutch line first?

I'm about to do a brake flush and upgrade to DOT 4 fluid and was curious if I should flush/bleed the brake lines first or the clutch (I have 6 spd)? Or does it really matter? I'm using the Motiv power bleeder. I'm assuming that bleeding the brake lines will get most of the old fluid out and all that will be left is what's in the line to the clutch.

Thanks!

I would do the clutch first and get all the crap out of the system....
