Ashcroft first, Powell second.
Powell is the one who is persona non grata, but by holding the door for Ashcroft first, Bush can say he is reaching out and trying to be a unifier.
Then he gets to kick Powell a couple of times on the way out the door, and probably lets Dick and Condi get in on the fun, too.
I'm expecting Rummy and Wolfie to stay; if they were going to be gone, they'd be out, and I think the Administration actually shares their neocon wet dreams.
