Order is important?
for example fat32 partition 0, ext3 partition 1 and swap partition 2?

No, go in cwm, advanced, partitions sdcard.
cwm will make all. try to go in cwm so can you see the options

if you want use a different software like minitool partition, you can creat 3 partitions all primary partitions:

1) sdcard in fat32
2) sdext in ext3 or ext4
3) swap

Ext4 is better than Ext3, so if you can use gparted live (or minitools) to create the Ext4

I do nothing to manage 16gb, all works fine. I only set cache sd to 2mb
I have partition my sd with cmw (1024 ext, 64mb swap). now I have 128mb freed in my rom.

thx to all!!!
