A couple of thoughts on the "out of order" items in the list below.
Only in Philippians is EPI with the dative case. When Paul uses EPI for the
occasion of something, he uses the genitive (EPI TWN PROSEUCWN MOU).
If we take hUPER PANTWN hUMWN to define DEHSEI, it is not really out of place.
I am not quite sure on what basis you put the phrases to each category, but
would the EPI phrase if Phil 1:3 parallel better the PERI phrases in the next
section as expressing the content of thanks?
META CARAS THN DEHSIN POIOUMENOS is slightly out of order, or more
technically, parenthetic.

Note particularly the items between
