If your 2nd order construct is reflective, formative, than this paper

Hierarchical Latent Variable Models in PLS-SEM: Guidelines for Using Reflective-Formative Type Models Jan-Michael Becker, Kristina Klein, Martin Wetzels

This is a good suggestion.

For type I reflective reflective contrast see:
Handbook of Partial Least Squares. http://www.springer.com/statistics/comp ... 40-32825-4

Chapter by Wilson.
Using PLS to Investigate Interaction Effects Between Higher Order Branding Constructs.

Best regards
