In any case: if you do it, add the -fire before you take the tile, or else this will certainly be cheating. (You would get the +3pw from reaching step 10, and then you would be able to get those +3pw again at a later time. Only acolytes are allowed to do this.)

If it was technically possible, the -fire BEFORE taking FAV1 is almost as bad as doing it afterwards, as the -fire will bring you from step 7 to step 6, and FAV1 will likely earn you +2pw from that step.

So if this would work, it would be not only an exploitation of a mechanism in the snellman implementation which is meant for something else, it also would allow to gain undeserved power. I'm glad that it doesn't work as per kruppy's reply above.
