Whenever we create Virtual Network in Azure there will VMs in that network, so provision following resources sequentially

• Create Network Security Groups
• Create public IP address
• Create Virtual Network
  • Create Bastion (use public IP address during Bastion creation) while creating vNet
  • Use public IP (created previuos step) for Bastion
  • If you disable bastion while creating vNet, then after creating vNet you can create Bastion and while creating Bastion, it will ask for vNet
• Create NIC
• Create VM
  • Use Virtual Network created previously
  • About VM NIC
    • You can not attach existing NIC (created previously) to VM while creating VM using azure portal
    • When VM is created, NIC will be created automatically
    • After VM creation detach NIC that automatically created and attach your NIC (created previously) if you want
  • Create data disk if you need during VM creation (give nice name, otherwise disk will be created with weired name)
