as per the question 

i come up with this design, apologies for not interpreting the question correctly. 

but if the diagram is correct then i will follow with this

if i try to add one trunk  port fist or i use the range command to bundle both ports , ill get an error . the ether channel has a prerequisite to have the port type should be same either access with same vlan or trunk will same trunk configuration  but this is not our case ,

so in this case the first port's properties will be inherited by the port-channel and it will then compare those values with any other port which i want to add in that port channel so if trunk port is f0/1 and access port is f0/2 then switch will put the trunk port in bundle but will not added the access port.
