I believe Mel Bartholemew has a good description in his book, Square Foot Gardening.

He does and if I understand your question you are asking what plant should follow the another to best use those nutrients in the soil not taken up by the first planting.
I'll need to refresh my memory but I do recall ... heavy feeders first than I think its light feeders followed by nitrogen fixers (legumes). And if possible a rest period than the cycle restarts. Of course in colder regions without a winter growing season a cover crop for green manure over winter.
Again this is from memory and I may have the middle of the cycle askew.
