In immunohistochemistry "who is the first"?

Pre-treatment (HIER or enzymatic digestion) of tissues and after hydrogen

or

Hydrogen peroxide to eliminate endogenous activity and after pretreatment
(HIER or enzymatic digestion) of tissues

I already see both procedures. Is not important the order?

With compliments
