torque and angle torque

If it were just a ft lb torque I wouldn't be confuse about the situation but What I think is when my first got the car she had to...

best way to torque

So should I loosen all the bolts then re-torque them or loosen one at a time then torque them. Also will I have to put a new valve cover gasket on when I pull the cover. One more thing do those specs cover a 2000 1.6 the diagram says to 1999 not sure if they are the same. Thanks for the info thus far.
