I'm confused as to the proper order to list items in an htaccess file. Is the following correct? Also is it ok to leave blank lines between items?

ErrorDocument 404 /missing.htm
AddHandler server-parsed .htm

Options +Includes
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.EXAMPLE\.com)?$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*index\.htm\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index\.htm$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

#if the "/" page is not supposed to have a query string or non-blank query
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .
# Redirect to "/" after clearing query string
