Default Bleeding rear brakes

Brand new members!!!! I have overhauled my 71 with new lines, calipers and Master... rotors look good. My question is: on the rear calipers, there is 2 bleed screws on the passenger side (rear) and 3 on the drivers side (rear). Is there a sequence for bleeding these calipers?

On the rears, bleed the inner caliper halves first; then bleed the outers.

You can ignore the third bleeder if it's at the bottom of the caliper.

Be sure the runout is under 005, better yet 002 or you'll become very familar with bleeding them.
