You can open either water or steam cock first. Water and steam is the same pressure inside the boiler( pls refer to flluid-pressure laws). We usually open the water cock first just simply because of we want to know the water level in the boiler first.

If steam cock is opened first and then later water cock, water will not rise up because of the high pressure of steam and thus we will not get correct reading.
