To apply polyurethane before or after trim intall?

I am planning to stain the trim in a basement finishing project that I am getting close to completing. I am going to use a stain, followed by a coat or two of polyU.

My plan was to paint the walls, then measure and cut the trim. After all the trim was cut, I was going to stain/poly it, then install it. Last, I was going to fill any nail holes and touch-up with more polyU. Does that make sense?

Or should I stain (but not poly), then install the trim? Then, after filling the nail holes, I can apply the polyU.

Thanks,
Guy
