Hi Esmi,
I'm not sure what subsidiary conclusions (/intermediate conclusions) have to do with this specific question, so I'm answering by assuming this is just a general question.

In any case, intermediate conclusions don't necessarily have to be stated chronologically before the main conclusion. What's important is that an intermediate conclusion is something that is both being supported by a/the premise(s) and is also supporting the main conclusion.
