I would do them one at a time in that order. Keep paying minimums on all debt of course. I chose to pay off 2nd mortgage before student loans because of the interest rate and the fact that student loan interest can offset income for tax purposes.

Make a plan and work it. Good luck
A decent outline...
why SL after 2nd mortgage?
I would reverse the two...
