First do the combat. Let's draw a crap diagram:

B1: BioTitan 1, B2: BioTitan 2, E: Eldar, K: Knights.

              B1E B2
                              K

In this case, the close combat between B1 and the E should be resolved
first (adding 1/2 of B2's current damage capacity if it's within 15cm),
then any Firefights.
