which comes first. Are forward-forward rates (and hence futures prices and FRA rates) the mathematical result of the yield curve? Or are the market's expectations of future rates (i.e. forward-forwards, futures and FRAs) the starting point, and from these it is possible to create the yield curve? The question is a circular one to some extent, but market traders increasingly look at constructing a yield curve from expected future rates for various periods and maturities

If I wish to borrow money for 3 months, the interest rate is likely to be different - possibly higher and possibly lower - from what the rate would be if I wished instead to borrow for 6 months. The "yield curve" is a graph showing how interest rates vary with term to maturity.
