Regardless of the variation in my routine, should I do planche pushups before handstand pushups or not? I think that whatever is more difficult for the person should be done 1st as it takes more energy/strength. I did 2 straddle planche pushups yesterday, but its harder to do then handstand pushups. thoughts?

Completely different muscle recruitment. If for some reason you are doing them in the same workout I would do which ever one you care about more first. It has been said many times here that handstand work is the most important thing to develop at first, specifically handstand presses, but I have no idea if this applies to HSPU.
