Yes, that would seem logical.
However, I know that after lifting with intensity for 40 minutes, there's no way in hell I can do 20-30 mins of cardio!
Also, I wonder if doing the cardio after lifting would actually really be burning more fat than doing it first thing in the morning, or would it just be hampering your ability to recover from your weights session? I would have to lean towards the latter personally.
I tend to do extremely low intensity cardio (walking) most days for about 45 minutes, at a completely different time to lifting. I find this gives a nice boost to my metabolism, plus it's probably quite good for my heart.
