No.  Without the delay-mode-hooks thingy, the way it works is:

   <parent-mode code>;
   <parent-mode hook, which also includes global ones>;
   <child-mode code>;
   <child-mode hook, which also includes global ones>;

while the delay-mode-hooks trick changes it to:

   <parent-mode code>;
   <child-mode code>;
   <parent-mode hook, which also includes global ones>;
   <child-mode hook, which also includes global ones>;

It sounds like you want it first in the parent's mode hook.
