I'm sure about second approach; it will work perfectly but not sure about performance point of view which is better.
@Autowired
private A a;

@Autowired
private B b;

For now you can start you work ....

Go though the Spring documentation there are several ways to use it.

@Autowired
private A a; 
private B b;

You may think this style works but if you try it, you will find that b is not autowired.

Nor should it work. Annotation apply only to immediate elements. It would be very confusing if annotations started to cascade. If it did, we'll need a @StopAutowired
