= Nontransitivity of the least-occurrence order on cardinal properties

Let $I,W,M$ mean inaccessible, weakly compact, and measurable, and define
$$
\Theta(\kappa)\iff
(W\mathbf C\land M(\kappa))\lor(\neg W\mathbf C\land I(\kappa)).
$$
Then $I<_1W$ and $W<_1\Theta$. Subject to the consistency of an inaccessible without a weakly compact cardinal, there is also a model in which $\Theta=I$, so $I\not<_1\Theta$.
