[pstricks] order of commands

All: I have run into this problem before and I am wondering if there is a general rule I should be aware of.  In the code below I have indicated three locations where I am trying to draw a 3D line. Two work and one doesn't.  When I forget about this ordering issue it can take me along time to figure out the goof.  Advice please. Jon
