No, there is nothing saying the Liaison subcommittee must be formed
after the formation of the JC, only that of the TC:

   Joint Committee (JC) -- a TC formed by joint resolution of a
   group of cooperating TCs, all of whose members are also members
   of at least one liaison subcommittee appointed for the purpose
   of participating in that JC.

   Liaison subcommittee -- a subcommittee of a TC formed to
   provide one or more members of a JC.
