Does your Favorite Class have to be the first class you take a level in ?

Well...
Favored Class
Each character begins play with a single favored class of his choosing—typically, this is the same class as the one he chooses at 1st level. Whenever a character gains a level in his favored class, he receives either + 1 hit point or + 1 skill rank. The choice of favored class cannot be changed once the character is created, and the choice of gaining a hit point or a skill rank each time a character gains a level (including his first level) cannot be changed once made for a particular level. Prestige classes (see Prestige Classes) can never be a favored class.
Nope, it doesn't have to be.

On a tangent; I'm forever mystified by the need for that last sentence.
The only reason i would see that come into play is if i was playing a half-elf.
Ok just double checking, for 1 level dips into Barbarian or monk. Then advancing in the main class.

Or Human with the Eclectic Feat
Been trying to see how I could create something with 3 favored classes, but I do not think that it is possible.

Half-Elf with Eclectic feat? They qualify for the feat due to Elf Blood I would imagine.

Well, if i was planning on playing at high levels i'd probably pick the prestidge class as the favored class if i was planning on getting one.

Hybrid builds in the long run are better off with a PrC favored class, if it was allowed.
Fighter 1/Wizard 5/Eldritch Knight 10
Paladin 2/Sorcerer 4/Dragon Disciple 4/Eldritch Knight 10
both benefit most from an EK favored class designation if it was possible. And....if we were starting at high enough levels for a character to have levels in a PrC that would make up the majority of their build, I would totally houserule to allow that to be the character's favored class....since....ya know....it is their favored class.
I have a houserule that the class you have the most levels in is the favored class. Half elves are unaffected by this houserule.

thank you! I had forgotten about that.. :)
half-elves just get to pick two favored classes.
if the DM Ok'd it i don't see why they couldn't take the Eclectic feat for the same reason as above.

Unless you allow them to take the human feat Eclectic via the elf Blood racial trait that they have. Then they can have 3 favored classes. :)
Note: this is on a fairly lax reading of the Elf Blood racial.
Elf Blood: Half-elves count as both elves and humans for any effect related to race.
and combining it with the reading of the Human feat "Racial Heritage" which further defines "effect related to race" as:
You count as both human and that race for any effects related to race. For example, if you choose dwarf, you are considered both a human and a dwarf for the purpose of taking traits, feats, how spells and magic items affect you, and so on.
