Here's the order of my iptables script:

1.  set variables and do file exec tests (test -x /sbin/iptables)
2.  load modules (ipt_MASQUERADE, ipt_state, etc.)
3.  build chains (add rules)
    a.  set default policies for my chains
    b.  enable forwarding
    c.  add INPUT rules
    d.  add postrouting masquarade rule


I hope this helps,
jc
