As a ridiculously simplified and general rule having the boost before the screamer is going to boost the input of the screamer and make its circuit react differently (as if you are stabbing it with extra hot pickups) and not have AS big an effect on the amp.
Having the screamer before the boost means that you retain the more classic screamer sound and getting the added benefit of a big boost afterwards to really kick the front end of your amp.

Sort of on topic, a lot of people struggle getting that singing violin fuzz tone. They have a screamer slamming the front end of a fuzz face. This is often harsh and very fuzzy. Try them the other way, have the fuzz face going into a screamer. The screamer will REALLY compress the fuzzes range and dynamics and get you much closer to THAT sound. Something simple that a lot of people overlook.

AS ICBM said, before the TS, you're effectively making the TS compress more, without getting anything other than extra compression. So you may as well put a compressor there....
I've always found the Microamp works really well in the amps FX loop, as a volume boost.
