Below is the order I followed recently to install and configure a 4-server SharePoint Farm.
- Ran PrerequisitesInstaller.exe on Application Server 01 – installer downloaded and installed prerequisites

- Ran the Configuration Wizard – wizard completed (created the farm)
- Ran PrerequisitesInstaller.exe on Application Server 02 – installer downloaded and installed prerequisites
- Installed SharePoint Server 2010
- Ran the Configuration Wizard – wizard completed (added the server to the farm and chose that the app server to host the Central Administration for redundancy)
- Ran PrerequisitesInstaller.exe on Web front-end Server 01 – installer downloaded and installed prerequisites
- Installed SharePoint Server 2010
- Ran the Configuration Wizard – wizard completed (added the server to the farm )
- Ran PrerequisitesInstaller.exe on Web front-end Server 02 – installer downloaded and installed prerequisites
- Installed SharePoint Server 2010
- Ran the Configuration Wizard – wizard completed (added the server to the farm )
- Installed a SharePoint Foundation Language Pack on all servers
- Installed a SharePoint Server Language Pack on all servers
- Ran the Configuration Wizard on all servers in order (App01, App02, WFE01,WFE02)
- For each server in the farm and in the order (App01,App02,WFE01,WFE02)
- Installed SharePoint Foundation 2010 Service Pack 1
- Installed Service Pack 1 for SharePoint Foundation 2010 Language Pack
- Installed Dec 2011 CU for SharePoint Foundation 2010*
- Installed SharePoint Server 2010 Service Pack 1

- Installed Dec 2011 CU for SharePoint Server 2010
- Ran the Configuration Wizard on all servers in order (App01, App02, WFE01,WFE02)
* Update: I was discussing the order of installation with a colleague and got the news that the Dec 2011 CU Hotfix package (2597014) “The full server package for SharePoint Server 2010 and contains also the MSF2010 [SharePoint Foundation] fixes so you need only this one package.” – no need to apply the CU for SharePoint Foundation.
Good luck!
