I'm sure there are many variations of the BLT, however the basic ingredients for a BLT are in the name. Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato.
Southern style BLT (Texas & Louisiana) from my experience is fried bacon on toast with mayonnaise. To layer the BLT the way I did in the restaurants I worked in. First piece of toast, light mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, then bacon topped with light mayonnaise on final piece of toast.
I was taught there were two main reasons we layered the BLT in this manner.
1. the bacon on the BLT is hot, heat rises, placing the bacon on the top of the BLT helps prevent the heat from the bacon to cause the lettuce or tomato to become soggy from heat, after all, lettuce and tomato on a sandwich are best served cold.
2. placing the tomato between the lettuce and tomato will help prevent the juices from the tomato soaking too much into the toast making the sandwich soggy.
So Top to Bottom (since I told the steps bottom to top)
Bacon - Tomato - Lettuce
Bottom to Top
Lettuce - Tomato - Bacon

How do you store cut-up romaine lettuce in a fridge?
Romaine lettuce should be washed and dried before storing in the refrigerator to remove excess moisture. A salad spinner can be very helpful in the drying of lettuce (and other salad ingredients as well). Romaine can be wrapped in a damp cloth and stored in the refrigerator crisper. Romaine lettuce will keep for five to seven days. All types of lettuce should be stored away from ethylene-producing fruits, such as apples, bananas, and pears, because ethylene will cause the lettuce leaves to brown.
