Do all the tiling first then install your fixtures.
Yep, tile first. Use a carbide drill bit to drill into the tile and install anchors. Start drilling slow to score the tile enamel surface.
Your electrical outlets and lightswitchs may need to be remounted and re-supported as, depending on how far back into the wall the boxes are, they may be too recessed to function well after the tiling is installed. Make sure you work around this and do dry-fits first, before the tiles go on permanently.
You're welcome.
It is a lot easier to "fix" potential problem areas before they happen, rather than after. As part of the dry-fitting process with the electrical outlets, try actually plugging in the cord, and pulling it out again several time, to make sure that the box is adequately anchored to withstand even normal use.
