(my original issue, the module visualisations were overlapping the medium power pole graphics due it using the 'object' layer; while my graphics were ones above it, like higher-object-above/under) (the fixed version, which was only doable with secondary_render_order)
If it helps, me and a few others were thinking to word it like:
"Specific objects, like pipe pictures or beacon modules, can have a secondary_draw_order which is used to avoid issues with overlapping graphics."
