FB laid out exactly what I do and how I trained other mechanics and cyclists. Many people start inserting the 2nd bead at the valve (and I used to do so) but ending there is much better, as that is the one place one cannot push the tire bead into the center well of the rim. In the case where the valve stem interferes somewhat with pushing over the last part very little is lost by finishing to one side of the valve.
