However, changing the exposure and shadow frequently alters the color a
bit as well. Like Bill, I tend to work back and forth a bit, but I try
to get close on the exposure, brightness, and shadow first.

The general rules of thumb we use in the photo lab industry seems to

will
always get you close to where you want to be.
If you must, tweak the density again, and perhaps a final tweak to
the
colour.
If the exposure level and shadow point are set prior to setting the
colour then
clipping often occurs particularly when large colour offsets are
called for. I
always try to set the colour as close as possible to where I want it
initially
so that I don't have to set exposure/shadow levels twice.
