Harmony first, then Counterpoint and finally Orchestration
That's the way I'm trying to learn, but I did glimpse counterpoint over, mostly because of the richness it can add to an already established melody. Orchestration on the other hand, I see as the least needed of the three (But still very, very important of course), so I would suggest you experiment with a polyphonic instrument (Piano, guitar etcetera) or an ensemble of the same instrument types (little more difficult due to pitch limitations) before you get to that part.
