Hahahaha. Ive done that, and was pretty embarrassed, even though I dont think any one saw me. I didnt spit on myself, but rather let a bit of spit fly out onto the machine. Meh!

If you are seriously trying to do one instead of the other, you need to focus on that. HIIT I hear is great, never done it myself though. As for the order, if you do an intense cardio workout BEFORE your weights, you will have less energy to push yourself during your anaerobic workout.

Assuming you aren't doing isolated muscle groups
My breaks are about 15-30 seconds in between reps, and 1 or 2 minutes between sets, which I will walk it off, take some water, and just breathe.
