  order of operations

In my endeavors to render scenes I find myself needing to scale
translate and rotate objects. Only different things happen if I do them
in different orders. ie. I had a cylinder I scaled down by .25 in ann
three axes and I had to translate it -50*z to get it where I wanted it.
How do theses operations affect each other? Should I always translate
first, scale and then rotate?
