The order of the outline seems reasonable, although one could argue
about details. For example, {la'e} and {tu'a} are the only two LAhEs
that are frequently used, all the others are never or hardly ever used.
Do they really need to be introduced at the same stage as {la'e} and
{tu'a}?

As for the sample, there is this claim about {la'e}: "It is used to talk
about titles and other such labels." But that's backwards, it is used
to talk about the labeled or titled thing, not about the labels and titles
themselves. And in fact, its most frequent use is in {la'e di'u}, where
{di'u} is not a label or a title but an expression, and {la'e di'u} is used
to talk not about the expression but about what is expressed by the
expression.
