As per my opinion

1.scientific research, current dep
2.brought forward loss
3.unabsorbed dep

1st are allowable exp for current year
2nd brought forward loss can be c/f upto 4/8 years(normal business /speculative business) but note that loss from specified business can be c/f upto no. of years
3rd unabsorbed loss can be c/f upto indefinite years so that last priority given

Then put it in 3rd category because it can be c/f upto indefinite years.
First setoff those losses which can be c/f upto limited years and give priority on the basis of 'how many years can be c/f'

I think in the act there's not any clarification regarding priority to setoff losses but to take maximum benefit first we've to setoff those which can be c/f upto limited years
