I could be completely wrong here (and I would love a correction) but I 
thought the preferred order was:
aptitude update
aptitude install dpkg     # Core package handling
aptitude install apt      # Core repository management
aptitude install aptitude # State-of-the-art dependency handling
aptitude full-upgrade     # See below

Aptitude for Lenny and above like "safe-upgrade" instead of "upgrade" 
and "full-upgrade" instead of "dist-upgrade".
