I agree with Mr. Mullin, and that's the sequence I use. It is possible to do the relief first, saddle next, and save the nut slots for last. After the relief is adjusted, the first fret is capoed to set the saddle height. That eliminates the effect of the nut slots while setting the saddle. That method has been published in Guitarmaker magazine, so it does work.
