I think the discussion is getting too complicated. I think the basic point is that by teaching stick-speed gas-height the student learns three very important things: 1)The importance of trim, 2) What the attitude does to speed and 3) What the speed does to height.
Once you have grasped this, to me, it does not matter in what order for for what reason you use a specific control, but in your head it is still stick-speed gas-height. When you are on your glideslope and you push the nose down to change the height to stay on the glideslope, in your head you are thinking stick-speed. Because of this you are watching to correct an increase in speed with the throttle, when you reduce throttle to correct the rising speed you know to anticipate more back pressure and to re-trim. Therefore to me, nothing has changed because
how you deal with a specific situation is really down to the specific situation but the rules are unchanged; stick-speed throttle-height...trim trim trim
