Daneel also appears in Prelude to Foundation and Foundation and Earth, as well as the short story "Mirror Image" (with Lije Baley). I understand he also appears in the Second Foundation Trilogy books, but as those are not by Asimov, I've not read them, so can't say in what capacity. On the two mentinoed above... you would probably want to read the series in its entirety, as there are a lot of references between the novels. In which case, the order of the sequence (by Asimov) would be:

Prelude to Foundation
Forward the Foundation
Foundation
Foundation and Empire
Second Foundation
Foundation's Edge
Foundation and Earth
