My intention is to
Fit base and wall units
Fit flooring, leaving expansion gap against wall

Having had a kitchen where someone tiled after fitting the units,
I always lay the floor wall-to-wall first. However, I might do this
the other way around if I expected the units to outlast the floor,
but with the ceramic floor tiles I have used, I expect them to
outlast the units.

If you want to save tiles, leave them out directly under the units, but
never tile TO the units. Makes getting a splashproof seal very hard, and
leads to dirt and water getting trapped there.
