Mediation with two HCM's and multiple endogenous variables

[Ingrid Snijders]

Hi,
The model under examination contains two HCM's (in theory), one of them as mediator, followed by a two endogenous variables. In what order do I have to execute the IPMA and mediator analysis and testing of the second order structures? To give you a better idea of the model:

A = HCM with 5 subdimensions
B = HCM with 3 subdimensions and mediator (for the relationship A to C and for A to D)
C = endogenous latent variable, single item
D = endogenous latent variable, 5 items

Hope you can help me out!
Thanks

I usually use the IPMA as final analysis after model assessment (including hoc), mediator analysis, etc.
