I learned Hiragana first, then Katakana. Either way, get one or the other down before you do the other. I think of it as Capital and Lower Case although I know that's not how they function. But it's two ways to write the same syllable.

Once you have both of those down, then focus on Kanji. But I personally never put much effort into that... probably because of the sheer number of them and because I was told not even most Japanese remember ALL the kanji -- hence hiragana written over kanji, I suppose.
