I've seen alot of WCK schools teach in that order, or similar (sometimes knives and pole later), "Saving" the MYJ for after Biu Jee.
I've also seen people teach parts of the MYJ earlier on, or drills on it.
I often teach drills to compliment specific techniques as a learning tool, and it allows the student to get the coordination better.
ex: kwun-sao, which for many is very difficult to grasp, but having something you can work on, hands on works really well.
Gaun-sao, and bong, especially dai-bong sao is real easy to grasp, once you move and hit the jong.
plus, from a school owner's standpoint, face it-people think the jong is mysterious, and cool. They've seen it in movies, and when they walk into a kwoon they see the jong and think,"Wow-there it is!" Letting them work on it is motivational.
(C'mon, we've all been there!)
