Can I bleed brakes in a two day episode(rears tonight, front tomorrow??
Im running out of daylight and dont have a garage to work in. Would it be cool for me to bleed the rear brakes tonight... then tomorrow morning bleed the front brakes... The car wont move at all... just sit over night till I can finish the fronts...

Don't really need daylight. Flashlight will work. I usually bleed:
Passenger rear
Driver rear
Passenger front
Driver front
just like everyone I know and everyone I talk to. It shouldn't take you much time, I usually bleed all 4 in less than 10 minutes.

no there is not.. they are recommended ways of doing it. in the end its all the same. as long as you know how to take the air out properly it does not matter if you do them in a specific order as long as each line your doing is done correctly.
ive done it several times and on different hondas and non hondas, all with the same result.. work perfectly fine, so i can only speak from experience. ofcoarse people wont go out and bleed their breaks to see if its true so they just follow the book.

Yes, you can do it different ways, but it is not the most effective with the way the master cylinder piston that puts pressure on the lines -- going to the prop valve.
Look at a Helms. There IS an order.
You can do it any way you want, but if it's not by how the prop valve is set up, then you'll have some air in your lines and your brakes won't be as effective.

Honda repair manual says:
1. REAR PASSENGER
2. FRONT DRIVER
3. REAR DRIVER
4. FRONT PASSENGER
But any other way will be just fine as long as there is NO AIR in the system...

well like i said poison i can only go by what i have personally done to my cars for past 5 years. i have several helms manuals in fact i am the one who made all those scans that is on the internet for everyone to have for free, and dont believe everything that the helms says because you will find that their are misprints in the order of brake bleeding procedure and among other missing pages. and how the proportioning valve is set up has no bearing on which line you bleed, because when you put pressure on the line the air no matter where it is inside the proportioning valve will go out the easiest way which is the line that you are bleeding. what the bubble just decides to stay there??? it is automatically forced out and has no place to go except through the open line and out.
but like i said i'm not here to argue with you or anyone else, i am just speaking from my experience.
