The reason for Spd after Int is because of trying to get protection spells up before the enemy casters start casting (Elemental Shield and Soul Shield as well as others that are combat only). Also, the other reason is for debilitation of the enemy as well.
As to Alchemist edging Mage based on Heal, not really. Since you are only spending a single level as the starting class before switching to Bishop, you can always pick up Heal at level 2 (Bishop 1) as the monsters in early monastery probably won't do enough damage to kill any character.
