I'm looking to try my hand at a recipe and I plan on adding the following:

Campden Tablets (Mostly to minimize chances of spoilage during initial fermentation. Dechlorinating the water is a nice side benefit.) I already know to throw in some more during bottling.

Pectic Enzyme

Yeast Nutrient

Wine Yeast

What order do each of these go in? Thanks for any help.
 
They can go in one big lump, but some recommend 12 - 24 hours wait between campden and yeast and 1/2 the nutrient now and 1/2 in a few days.

Wine is an art, not a defined process...
 
Do not add the yeast nutrient and yeast at the same time unless the nutrient has an organic form of nitrogen such as Fermaid O, adding nitrogen along with the yeast can shock or kill the yeast.
And although I agree with some of what you stated
Wine is an art, not a defined process...
, there is a certain time that specific additives are added.
