You really want to have both exactly at the sale time, so you have exactly 100 gas when rax finishes. That means you wait till you have 220 minerals and put both rax and gas. If you see a probe approaching, build your refinery, and cancel scv (not refinery), put it back to minerals, and start building refinery again when you start your rax. If you are really paranoid, or have slow reflexes, do it anyway: when you have 100 minerals, build ref and cancel the scv. That way your gas never get stolen. | ||

EDIT I assert that this is a really fucking good idea. | ||

And about always going gas first: bad idea, if you are incapable of spotting probe and getting a quick gas, i'd go rax & refinery at 10. But that's me, i'm only around d+ | ||
