I would say, Colonists first goal should be producing food, probably by maintaining hydroponic plantations.
Their second goal would be expanding existing Colony. And increasing production of water, oxygen, energy, food, and maybe fuel.
So it seems actual exploration, and research would be only tertiary goal.

agreed. absolutely although I would think getting a safe living/working environment completed would need to be first - this would have to include food/water/etc environment

Actually, the first jobs would be construction, actually building the habitat for the folks to live within.
After that we have the engineers who set up the water reclamation and basic life support (which would become the backup life support).
THEN comes the farmers, who would provide the food, oxygen, and organic materials.
FINALLY come the manufacturing workers who make the everyday stuff people would need in orbit.

In theory right, but most of it should be done by robots, before human landing. If Engineers fail to make water reclamation working, whole crew would die soon. And fuel production, don't forget about it, or nothing will leave the planet (OK, in case of Moon it may be possible to land with enough fuel to get off later).

I think first must be sent some "base camp" automated habitat placing (with basic life support, including basic surface solar arrays), then some stock modules, then some multipurpose rovers/dozers/excavators, then some external energy source (probably short-time nuclear module), then more habitat modules, then the basic "setting" crew, then the habitat/city-seed must be set up, life support and energy sources revived, then more crew/staff (this batch includes the farmers, construction staff, explorers/scientists...
