Tight is relative to the bolt. Your strength and tools are variables that you need to be able to adjust for. If you are weak and use a 3/4 inch sized socket with a 36 inch breaker bar you're likely to break off the bolt head without any effort at all.
Struts bar bolts and nuts torque to 52 Nm. This isn't some critical number. Just make sure they are tight.
Throttle body bolts torque to 8.43 Nm. Don't want to over torque these too much.
Also, #3 isn't a number. The answer is it doesn't matter the pattern. Just torque them down evenly.
