   Carpet goes in very last. Leave base trim and doors up 3/8 or so. (assuming a stretched carpet with pad). tile the floor in the bath before trimming out that room however.

   I would set the doors, trim it out, set the fixtures and then carpet.

   Any trim that needed to wait for the carpet (?) could be done later.

   So the carpet would typically tuck under the cove?

   Rubber cove base would go in after the carpet. 

   I'm thinking now you are perhaps using glue down carpet?  In that case I would change my tune and set doors and casing after carpet.  Then install the rubber cove.

   Carpet after everything but the base, plinthe blocks, and casings. If you prefer, you could set the casings first, to a calculated height, then cut the plinthe blocks to the exact height needed to squash down into the carpet once it's installed.

   Design for a plinthe block at least a half inch taller than the base, so if you guess wrong by an eighth in the carpet height it won't show.
