Hello,
(This all applies to people training for a flying career). In general, is it ever a good idea to earn your Multi or Commerical before your Instrument? How about your CFII before your CFI?

Sure. ATP runs their pro pilot course this way, pretty much ('cept for the comm before IR part). If you're going to do all your training in a twin, it's best to knock out your Pvt AMEL first, so all remaining dual can be logged as PIC instead of just dual received. And the Comm AMEL ride doesn't include all the performance maneuvers that the Comm ASEL ride does, so it's generally an easier ride.
