Depends on the colour of emulsion on how you would do things in order.
If the emulsion is light enough to cover with gloss, you would get all woodwork undercoated and take the emulsion onto the woodwork slightly and then gloss off.
If the emulsion is too dark to cover with gloss, then take the emulsion slightly onto the woodwork and undercoat and gloss.
How would you know if it's too dark or not? Experience.
When you paint a room, do the ceiling and bring the colour onto the wall by an inch. Do the walls so the wall colour touches the white and it goes slightly onto the woodwork. Do the ceiling again. Do the walls again but cut in to ceiling. Then cut in woodwork with gloss.
If you do bottoms first, the top paint will land on the lower finshed coat so work down.

If you gloss first any emulsion that accidentally hits the gloss will wipe off with water easily. Also any untidy glossing can be tidied up with the emulsion. That's the way i work...I've been a painter and decorater for 0ver 12 years.

Prepare and undercoat woodwork first, the emulsion walls. Any drips / spray etc are easily wiped off. Finally gloss all woodwork. You can more accurately cut-in with gloss, which will "take" to any emulsion overspill, whereas emulsion doesn't"take" very well to gloss.

You are confused. Because I can give you a gloss finish with an emulsion paint.

Gloss first Booie. You can go round door frames, architrave, skirtings etc. quite quickly knowing it won't matter going onto surrounding areas partly. When you emulsion, it will be easy to removed any excess/mistakes, when "cutting in", with a damp cloth.

Yep, sure does!
Emulsion first - it's quicker drying!
Gloss last - it dries completely overnight!
Hope this helps!
