Clutch and brake fluid flush

I believe they use the same brake fluid reservoir so I wasn't sure if there was a recommended method to bleeding.
If so, I've never heard of that being done. Seems like a single point of failure for two very important devices. Can't imagine the brakes going out and not being able to disengage the clutch! But if it is one single reservoir, that's news to me (but I have a DSG anyway....!)

They use the same reservoir. Order doesn't matter too much if you are flushing and don't introduce air into the system. I usually do clutch last.

Was thinking the same since I am flushing the entire system. Using power bleeder so I hope I don't have any issues with introducing air into the system.
