If your only problem with the original order was what you described before,
don't change the order: just do

(load-file "~/emacs/init/emacs_init.el")
(setq custom-file "/home/oub/emacs/init/custom-init.el")
(load-file "/home/oub/emacs/init/custom-init.el")
(require 'ox-beamer)

and delete the original `(require 'ox-beamer)' from wherever it was
before (presumably in ~/emacs/init/emacs_init.el). You are only trying
to avoid the loading of your customizations from clobbering
org-latex-classes.

BTW, the fact that you *do* have problems when you change the order,
probably means that there is strong coupling between your init files
which is not a good thing. You might want to spend some time
refactoring them and breaking interdependencies. If you decide to do
that, small steps (and good backups) are probably a good idea.
