Location of capacitor in 120V circuit
Scott. This is a follow up to your previous motor question . I haven't finished the response to that yet (as I ran out of lunch-break) but will do. 

To answer this question, no, it doesn't matter what order the series connected components are connected in as long as they are all passive components. Remember that the same current is flowing through them all.

I'll respond in full in the original question in a few hours.
