There is absolutely no requirement to pass in any order. Most people will tell you to take troubleshooting last, and I would agree. The reason is that the experience with routers and switches that you should gain in pursuing the other tests should serve you well in troubleshooting. Do NOT try to pass the CCNP tests using books alone. While it is possible for some people to do it, it is not a very good way to learn this material. It's like learning surgery without ever even touching a cadaver.
I think taking switching first is a fine idea, and a friend of mine has done just that. Spend a lot of time studying for Routing, for it is very intellectually challenging material and is the most important material you will study, in my opinion. I did not spend enough time on it, and now I am having to work harder as I study for the Lab.
