I don't think there's such a general rule.  As I understand it, one has to be mindful of the undefined order of evaluation of function arguments.  So, the call which may set the last error must not be in an argument list with the call of GetLastError(), because you can't be sure which will be called first.

That is, in this case, the call to GetLogicalProcessorInformation() must not be within the ok() argument list along with GetLastError().  Since it is not, the above code is fine.

(I also think your paranoia about access(2) is overblown, but I agree it isn't the best means of checking for the existence of a file.)
