Brake Bleeding Question

I am getting ready to install my new master cylinder and I just want to confirm the proper bleeding procedures:
1. Bench bleed the master to make sure ther is no air in it.
Question 1: Should I use the same process to bleed the proportioning valve after it is hooked up to the master and before it is hooked to the brake lines by running a hose from the outlets back into the master until there is no more air coming out? Or will the proportioning just bleed with the rest of the system?
2. Bleed the lines starting at the furthest from the master.
Question 2: I have read the you should start at the passenger rear, but if you look at the length of the brake lines, the one going to the drives rear is the longest because the brake line runs down the passenger side and then back across the diff. Does it matter where you start in the back?
3. After bleeding all lines there should be a nice firm pedal. Any other things to look out for?
Thanks for all your help.
