It doesn't matter when you adjust them. What counts is the rotor is held flat against the hub and that the adjustment is made to .004". I do the outer, then the inner, then I recheck them both. The E-brake cables should be exerting NO force on the lever, other than taking up the slack in the lever itself. I've yet to see significant warpage in a rear rotor, but there's always a little runout. That's why you turn the rotor at least 360 degrees while checking the gap. It's marginally easier to bleed the brakes after the venting clearance has been set.
