While I am not an enochian practitioner per-se, I think I might be able to help shed some light on this issue for you...
The sub-elements aren't illustrating inter-connections... they are illustrating different qualities of the parent element. Each element as we experience them is actually a composite of its sub-elements... LOL this is harder to explain than I thought... Let me try to use an example...
There is a big difference between Fire of Earth and Earth of Fire. They deal with two entirely different elements (Earth and Fire respectively). The parent element (listed second) is the element you are working with, while the Sub-Element (listed first) is the particular aspect of the parent that you are focusing on. Fire of Earth is dealing with the passionate, directive, powerful energies present in the element Earth. Earth of Fire is dealing with the solid, steady, material, foundational energies present in the element of Fire.
Therefore when you are working with Fire of Fire for example... you are working with the most willful, passionate, direct, parts of the element of Fire... not necessarily just plain old Fire.
Hope this helped...

For example, electricians aren't dropping dead by the thousands- even though the forces they work with every day are *extremely* dangerous. Meanwhile, folks who fancy themselves handy with electricty and go playing around with it unawares often get burned badly." -- Quoting Aaron Lecht concerning the grimoires
