I know it doesn't work well to glue after staining, but how about after pore
filling?

It will be an awful lot easier to fill and sand the parts before assembly,
but then I will be gluing some parts that have been poor filled. (african
mahogany)

I don't think it will matter since the water based material doesn't
penetrate much, and most of it will be sanded off, except what is in the
pores. So most of the surface will be clean for gluing.

Is this right, or am I asking for problems? Thanks.

Because it is easier to treat a surface before glue up I often do this too.
However you have to weigh you incontinence. Mask off the glue areas with
tape. Treat the areas, remove the tape, and glue it up. If masking the
areas is more trouble than treating after glue up, glue up first.
