Kitchen Fitting

tiling before or after fitting worktops?

I'm doing a minor 2 phase renovation of my kitchen with stage 1 being skim plastering a wall (behind cooker) where there were previously wall mounted units and putting up open shelving. I'm keeping the tiles to left and right of cooker/splashback but for phase 2 I want (in due course) to extend the worktop above a new freezer beyond the left side of the cooker; there's currently only a single (60 cm) base unit with wall tiling above the worktop. My Q: should I at this stage already tile above where the worktop will eventually go (in phase 2)? As the plastering of that wall will be done imminently, I want to ensure that old and new tiles will be flush - and that it will still be possible to install a new worktop. Please advise on best course of action! thanks
