Running CotCT BEFORE RotRL?

I was wondering if it would be at all problematic to run CotCT and then run RotRL after for the same group? The rumors that CotCT contains a number of links to RotRL sounds like it could ruin the plot of RotRL if they where run in reverse.

My main reason for asking is that a friend in the group I play with has already started RotRL with another DM and I don't want to give away spoilers through the CotCT AP.

I believe in one of the latest chat logs James says that they can be run in any order you want to run them in... i Don't have time to find it but if you go to the end of the #pathfinder thread the logs are there

There are some subtle tie-ins and mild hints that the Adventure Paths occur in the order in which we publish them, but changing up the order shouldn't have a significant impact (or really, any impact at all). So don't worry, you have our blessing in running them in a different order than presented. :)

Yeah, as Mike mentioned, there are a few easter eggs in Curse of the Crimson Throne to those who have played Rise of the Runelords... but we're doing our best to make sure that any Pathfinder Adventure Path exists in a "Time Bubble." You can run these campaigns in any order, in other words. It's also why no adventure in Crimson Throne or Second Darkness will be set in a location featured in another Adventure Path.

EVENTUALLY we'll do "sequel" Adventure Paths that take place after a previous one's events... but you can absolutely run the first three APs in any order.
