Should one perform ablution (wudu') for pre-seminal fluid (madhy) first, then ritual bathing (ghusl) for menstruation, or the reverse?

The obligatory Ghusl (ritual bath) is sufficient for Wudu' (ablution), because the intention to remove the larger ritual impurity (al-hadath al-akbar) is sufficient for the intention to remove the smaller ritual impurity (al-hadath al-asghar), as the smaller is encompassed within the larger. And bathing after the cessation of menstruation is sufficient, as Wudu' is included in Ghusl. With a warning regarding the prohibition of masturbation.
