I don't like either one.  Why not take advantage of the fact that 
resources are specified to be closed in the opposite order that they are 
declared in a try-with-resources?

The following demonstrates this by closing the named streams in the 
order C-B-A:


package quicktest;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;

public class TryResourcesTest
{
    public static void main( String[] args ) throws Exception
    {
       try(
           MyTestStream a = new MyTestStream( "A" );
           MyTestStream b = new MyTestStream( "B" );
           MyTestStream c = new MyTestStream( "C" )
       ) {
          System.out.println( a.read()+b.read()+c.read() );
       }
    }
}

class MyTestStream extends InputStream {

    private final String name;

    public MyTestStream( String name )  {
       this.name = name;
    }

    @Override
    public int read() throws IOException  {
       return 42;
    }

    @Override
    public void close() {
       System.out.println( getClass().getSimpleName()+
        ":"+name+" closed." );
    }
}
