Conjunctions that join clauses actually are always in between the clauses they join whenever we can show all the clauses involved in the same tree. When conjunctions function in relation to sentences, as a way to quickly check if there are any orphaned trees (every tree should always only have one topmost node), we had to place the conjunction with the second sentence it conjoins & connect it to that second sentence. We removed the Head attribute for the node where the conjunction connects to the second sentence as one way to indicate that the conjunction doesn't really belong with the sentence--there is no head when it connects to the sentence. The conjunction is still considered to function between the two sentences to conjoin them.
OK, I withdraw my statement. I was making an apples-to-oranges comparison while looking at a few examples.
