Possibly before any other time based effects (phase, chorus, flange if you use them), but that's up to you.
You want to delay the crazy noise, not the other way around.
Obviously it's personal preference, but it's best to put pitch shifters at the beginning of the chain. The more pure the signal, the better off you are. Asking an octave divider to make sense of a phase shifted or distorted signal is a tall order.
Exceptions are the tuner, of course, since it doesn't do anything, and a compressor. A compressed signal tracks really well by a pitch shifter. That's what people did 20 years ago when octave dividers weren't as good as they are today. It's still a pretty good idea.

This is good advice. I always go guitar --> tuner --> gain-changing and eq effects --> filter effects --> time delay effects --> big old amp.
But then again, I also dont use octave pedals much anymore. If I did, I'd follow Alex's advice and put them right after my compressor that I dont use anymore either.
