Order of content

I’ve been thinking about the order of the different parts of a layout. I made some illustrations to make this a bit easier to grasp. The illustration shows a quite normal layout used on most websites today.

• Top area, branding area and global navigation
• Local navigation, menu
• Main content
• Relative content and commercial banners
• Footer

This disposition must be one of the most common layout on the web today.

Now to the question, or the problem that I have. Which order should the code (div) come? I know that main content and related content should come first. But what about the rest. Does it matter, is there any pros and cons? Here are some orders.

All thoughts and comments are welcome.
