All depends on the switch if the switch is intelligent and have auto detection which most switches have now a days you can use either one i.e straight through or crossover but if the switch is dumb you have to use crossover cable and plug it in the up-link port the process is called daisy chaining.
For the past 7 years i have yet to come across a switch that don't have auto-detection for cables and link but in some old setups i have still see old technology.
