I have my tuner first in the chain and my compressor immediately after that, before any other effects. I'm sure that's not the only way it can be done, but having it first makes sense to me - I want it to be hearing nothing but the true sound of the strings, no effects in-between to possibly muck up the tuning.
I can't suggest a compressor for acoustic - I use an MXR Dynacomp for electric guitar, but have never tried plugging my acoustic/electric into it to see how it sounds. Hopefully some of the guys who play live/amplified acoustics will have some suggestions.
