The order of the procession during Mass is as follows: the thurifer (w/ incense), the cross flanked by two candles, followed by any remaining servers (these could include seminarians, acolytes (or laymen deputized as extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion when instituted acolytes are not available) and lectors (or laymen deputized to read when instituted lectors are not available).
Then comes the book of the Gospels (if it is to be used in the liturgy) carried by a deacon (or, in the absence of a deacon, one of the laymen deputized as a reader). This book is carried slightly elevated in reverence for the Holy Gospel of Christ. It is worth noting, given the frequency of the error, the Lectionary is not to be substantiated for the Book of the Gospels in procession. If the Book of the Gospels is not to be used then no book is carried in procession.
Finally come the clergy: Deacons (sitting in choir, if there are any), concelebrating priests (if there are any), followed lastly by the principle celebrant along with his assisting deacon who walks next to him in the procession.
While this order cannot be adapted, more or fewer element may or may not be present depending on who is in attendance and the gravity of the celebration. For instance, one might not have deacons, lectors, acolytes, or even more than one server at a daily Mass. Those people, along with their items (i.e. cross, candle, etc.) would simply be omitted from the procession. Also, if a bishop is present in the procession, more ministers are added (i.e. a miter, crosier and missal bearer).
