IPv6 Extension Headers

Hello All,
I am working on IPv6 Extension Headers Implementation.  
I am confused with freeBSD implementation and RFC2460 specification
for Destination Options.

My interpretation from RFC2460 is that,  If a packet consists of
hop-by-hop and destination extension headers, destination header
should be inserted inside AH.
i.e., hop + AH + dst. 

But freeBSD implementation is the other way, 
i.e., hop + dst + AH.

which is correct way of implementation according to RFC2460? Please
let me know, if my interpretation is wrong.

Any help will be appreciated greatly.

Thanks,
Srinivas.
