I would suggest you don't have children that aren't sub-components of the parent. You can do it if you want but it's "swimming upstream" against the model that is built into MLO. In MLO A task is composed of the parent+the subparts, and that tree makes up the whole "task" or project.
If you can give us an example of a hierarchy that you are wanting the children to start before the parent, maybe we can help with other ways to accomplish your goal.
