Windows first.

The mastic/silicon seal should still be done around the old reveals but be concealed by the render covering it. If there is a desire,need to redo it you just wait until the render is dry and run a bead around it.
Don't forget victorian and earlier houses survived for centuries with only mortar pointing around the frames. The mastics we use now are still relatively modern and over used.

I do the opposite,
I render using a bead around each window, then fit the window and point around the window up to the bead. Also allows a perfect sized window to be ordered as you can order once beading on. Nothing worse than a window frame buried in render. Also no damage to windows!
