I think the issue of viewing order of each trilogy is a tough call. On one hand, when all the movies are done, it would be nice to have a coherent story ark accross all six movies as if they had been created in that order.
However, the dramatic effect of events unfolding in the first trilogy is really what makes that series. You remove a lot of tension in the story line if you know ahead of time who sired whom, etc. I believe that the movies will always have to be watched 4-6 then 1-3 the first time to get the full effect of the story.
Its not unheard of, hell, Tarantino messes with beginnings and endings within an individual movie, let alone between movies.
