My question is, could the delivered recipe execute before the nested code

confused as to what is the last folder etc viz: could the anticipated flow
be disrupted completely by one arm of the fork delivering early ?

Once the fork for the "c" flag has occurred, the two instances of
procmail operate independently of one another.  The only interaction
will be through locking, if you have that set up on folders or via
assignment to LOCKFILE.  Delivery in one branch of the fork has no
effect on the other branch.
