There's not as formal of a progression with mandolin as there are with more established jazz/classical instruments. I think the closest that you're going to find would be a book like The Complete Mandolinist. It has a decidedly classical bent to it, but it's a single book but it was created to be used progressively rather than a random selection of tunes.
I've also heard good things about Horne's series. but they are well reviewed. More folk/bluegrassy oriented.
It doesn't answer your question, but depending on your level and what you're looking for, there are two books that I have that are more exercise oriented that focus on a progressive approach to learning imrpovisation and the fretboard-- Esichman's getting into Jazz Mandolin has years worth of exercises to develop a Jazz vocabulary and fretboard knowledge.
And Petersen's Guide to Bluegrass Improvisation focuses on building a bluegrass improv vocabulary.
Sorry I don't have much more help, but I don't know if there is a correct answer to this one.
Celtic and Bluegrass mostly, but I recently picked up Ted Eschliman's Getting Into Jazz Mandolin from a recommendation on Reddit. That very much changed and expanded my practice. It helped me understand better how improvisation works.
Edit: added link to book on amazon
Do you have prior experience with stringed instruments? If so I strongly suggest The Mandolin Picker's Guide To Bluegrass Improvisation, and Getting Into Jazz Mandolin, the don't require a lot of experience, but you might struggle if you have none at all. I'm sure some ones suggested Mandolin Cafe, but If you are a complete beginner, Folk of the Wood Is another good place to start.
