If multiple actions that you played lead to top-decking during cleanup phase, what order do you put things on top of your deck?  Also, if you top-deck card x that was giving you a top-decking ability on something else, do you lose card x's top-decking ability?

Example:
Action phase: Alchemist, Alchemist, Village, Scheme, Alchemist, Herbalist, Scheme.
Buy phase: Potion, Gold

I want to use the Potion to top-deck the three Alchemists
I want to use the Schemes to top-deck the Herbalist and a Scheme
I want to use the Herbalist to top-deck the Potion

So I have six cards headed to the top of the deck.  Can I put them on top in any order?  What if I put the Potion on top first...can I still top-deck the Alchemists?

NOTE: Section 19.4 of the timing rules states "When several abilities happen at the same time to the same player, he chooses the order of the abilities."  So that seems to say that I can top-deck in any order.  But I'm still not sure if I lose a card's top-decking ability if I clean it up before using the ability?

Thanks.

The key is to not just think that "these cards have a top-decking property" but to read what the cards actually say.

What if I put the Potion on top first...can I still top-deck the Alchemists?

Just read Alchemist: "When you discard this from play, you may put this on top of your deck if you have a Potion in play". Do you have a Potion in play then? No (if you didn't have a second Potion.)

Top deck the alchemists, then the potion, then Herbalist.
