I'm no expert, but my understanding is that you count the wire as it passes over the toroid. The ADX-UNO project has an instructional PDF with photos, and that is how they count them there. If I'm replacing something, I wrap it just as I found it.

When you're done winding, you'll have a wire exiting on the front, and a wire exiting on the back; count the wire as it passes over the toroid, including the pass as it leaves. Flip it over and the count will be identical. Some projects seem to ask you to go left-to-right or right-to-left, but I'm not sure that matters much. I always try to follow whatever the project says, since I don't know what I'm doing!
