Frone,
I always bring the genoa in first.
Furling the IMF isn't any different than if you had a standard main sail.  
You drop the motor in the water, fire it up and use power to keep you headed  
into the wind. I don't recommend loosening the IMF until the very moment you are 
 going to furl and then keeping pressure on both lines to get a clean furl.
