The proper order is: 1. Imperio; 2 Cruciatus; 3 Avada Kedavra

He comments, that Arthur would know about Imperius, because it "gave Ministry a lot of trouble at that time".

Personally I don't think Arthur was under direct Imperio (unless Molly counts :) ), but was in contact with people who were/claimed they were.

Cheers, Viridis
