I would not do testing until after both the OS and oracle is patched.
It seems that a test of patched oracle and unpatched OS is useless when you
will not be running it that way once you upgrade the OS.
Likewise vice versa, testing unpatched oracle with a patched OS is also not
a valid test, as it is not indicative of what the environment will be in
finality.
I am also with simon on the backout procedures, I would put much more
emphasis on what to do if something goes awry.

Assuming that there are no dependencies, then I don't think it makes much
difference.
Maybe you'd like to consider back-out scenarios. The order in which you do
the upgrade could affect these.
You might take the view that doing the AIX ML11 first is best. It's
relatively trivial so you can get that done then leave the DBAs to it.
