Foam over plywood? Vinyl siding...

Hey, good to be back on here after awhile. I'm gonna be helping a friend side his mobile home after stripping it down to the framing. He wants 1/2" foam, 1/2" plywood, and Tyvek. I was wondering which was better, plywood then foam, or foam then plywood. Seems to me structurally, nailing the plywood first would make a much tighter fit. Thx
