Assuming you are both OAL (Other Air Line) and don't work for the carrier you're trying to jump, it is first come first served, unless that company has rules concerning who has priority.
So, to answer your question, you are
absolutely not expected to give way if you were there first.
If they have rules about certain pilot groups having a higher priority than others, the gate agent will sort it out. Also, they might have a flow-through so if there are seats in the back you both may get on.
All commuters understand this and know that's the way the game is played...
