Start from the outer ends, work towards the middle.

To be honest, when removing a head it doesn't make a fat lot of difference, it is more important when tightening down.

was going to say that *wink* when tightening up always start from the middle then work your way out to the ends
i leave myself open to great abuse, but this is my sequence, 10 and 11 dont matter which get torqued first as long as they are the last two imo

I also tighten in stages... all to 10lb ft, all to thirty, and all to final torque.

I do it similar to MFT -
(using his picture)
1-2-3-4-5-7-6-9-8
If you do it in stages; you won't go far wrong though!
