Hello,
When you create MQ objects, either interactively or via a script, the order of creation is irrelevant.
You can create a sender channel that references an xmitq before this xmitq, or an alias queue that references a local queue before the local queue.
It doesn't really matter.
What's important is that the xmitq exists when the channel starts, or that the local file exists when the alias file is used.
The same goes for the listener.
On the other hand, if you create AUTHRECs, the accounts or groups must exist at the time of creation.

Hello Amir:

The following tutorial is very comprehensive, and includes workarounds for Test queue managers regarding channel authentication records.
It provides the steps to allow a non-Administrator user (fulano) to use a server-connection channel and to put/get messages from a queue.
.
Even though the focus is for Linux, the actual MQ steps are the same for Windows.
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/1135522
Configuring an IBM MQ queue manager to use a dedicated Listener, Channel and Queue in Linux
The chapters are:
Chapter 1: User "root" adds the proper user and group in both hosts
  User "fulano" is not an MQ administrator, and will be allowed to put/get messages.
  User "bob" is not an MQ administrator, and will NOT be allowed to put/get messages.
Chapter 2: MQ administrator (user "mqm") creates a queue manager with the basic/normal objects in host-1
Chapter 3: MQ administrator adds the dedicated objects.
Chapter 4: User "fulano" from host-2 puts and gets messages using the dedicated objects.
Chapter 5: User "fulano" from host-2 uses runmqsc to look at CURDEPTH on MY.Q
Chapter 6: User "bob" from host-2 fails to put/get messages using the dedicated objects
.
The dedicated objects are:
- Listener (such as MY.LISTENER in port 1420)
- Server-Connection Channel (such as MY.CHANNEL)
- Queue in Linux (such as MY.Q)
- Channel Authentication Record (CHLAUTH) for this server-connection channel that allows only the user "fulano" who is a member of the group "mqusers".
- Authority records for group "mqusers" to display, put, get, browse, etc. from the dedicated queue.

I hope that this is helpful.

Thank you for using IBM products!
