Any cover should be tightened from the centre towards the ends .
It was always funny to watch some one complaining about how much their BSA leaked tightening their primary cover in a circle

Not sure which bolts are in the 'centre' of the primary cover to tighten first!  *smile*

 Head bolts are the center 1st then the four outer then the four inner.
Most covers as Trevor said. Look at it as a clock, tighten 6,12,5,11,7,1,4,10,8,2,9,3.
Rocker box the four long bolts FL,RR,FR,RL then the bolt center inlet then front nuts then rear nuts.
At least thats how I've always done'em.
Cheers
