my experience
I make legs (all lower body) a priority, so I get to it right away - generally in the morning after the carbup. I'll do 20-30 mins of high intensity intervals (sprints) and use that as my warm up, then hit the legs.
I find that the cardio beforehand (as long as it is the day after the carbup!!!!!!) enhances my leg workout because the muscles are warmed up, flexible and feeling strong. Only if the cardio is the sprints though, if I go on a 2 hour hike my legs are very weak.
As for poundages with squats, I do them last - pre exhausting my legs/glutes so I can work them really hard without using heavy weights. (for safety purposes because I work out alone)
Cardio before squats, depending on the duration/intensity, how long it's been since your carb up etc will probably decrease poundage.
