shptree and tileindex

[Hunter, David - St. Louis Park, MN]

When using a combination of the shptree and tileindex utilities, does it
matter which order they are ran?  I have tile-indexed my data first, and
then ran shptree on the individual shape files and the tileindex files.
It occurred to me that the tileindex files point to the .shp files, and
wondered if this is optimized.  (I read somewhere that you should not
specify file extensions in .map files when using quad indexes, I'm
wondering if this is true also in the tileindex files.)  Do I need to
tileindex the shape files after quad-indexing them, and then quad-index
the tileindex files, or am I obsessing over nothing?
