if you like to point out the "zeitlich" factor, "prior" would be my choice.

The composition/compound/etc is added to element X before it is added to element Y.

My comment:

With this formulation the sense of "before it is added" can only be temporal. Otherwise "zeitlich betrachtet" could be given as "in a temporal sense" or "in a chronological sense".
