hi, just asked my mate, who's a garage fitter, he said it should be, or the way they do it.
offside rear > nearside rear > offside front > nearside front,

I do it the way Tom said, both rears first.
Ian, most cars now have a separate brake line for each wheel due to ABS/Traction control etc so if you are only removing air it won't matter what order they are done in.
If you are completely replacing all the fluid then you will need to follow the manufacturers recomendation as to sequence.
previous to that they used two separate diagonally opposite systems,
so front O/S and rear N/S operate off the one brake line
Front N/S and rear O/S work off another
So that if one line fails you still have one front and one rear brake operating, rather than either front or rears.
Our Suzuki's are real old!!

the reason i said about starting furthest away from reservoir is i done a fiesta the other day and it and the servo were on the passenger side

Yeah you should start at the furthest from the reservoir, which is indeed passenger side rear on a RHD SJ
