I've been taught last on, first off.  Get rid of the smoke on the 
acetylene, then add oxygen to get flame desired.  Shut off the oxygen 
or it will pop, then shut off the acetylene.
There is an online reference which agrees with what I've been taught.

Reference is step 7 in the "Welding" section.

Or did I misunderstand the question? :-)
