Should inner tube be inflated outside the tire?

It doesn't hurt to inflate a tube outside the tire (assuming you use low pressure - you can't inflate it to the same pressure that you could when it's in a mounted tire!), if that's what you are asking. If you are asking about the recommended procedure to replace an inner tube, you want to have the inner tube (mostly) deflated, then put it in the tire and mount the tire. Then partially inflate and deflate the inner tube (so it can move and work twists out). (I usually pull the valve out and go through a few inflate/deflate cycles so the tube can situate itself. Then I replace the valve and fill the tire.)
