In the Sutra-Bhashya-Vartika-Karika system, that is well known and is available for most of the Sastras, Karika happens to be the last.

Secondly I believe that Yoga and Samkhya as Sastras were somewhat tailored (though not modified) into the Darsana framework with the advent of Sutras. In a way the Hiranyagarbha or pre-Patanjali could be aptly called the Yoga Sastra while with Patanjali it became a Darsana. It could be something similar to the way Srauta ritual and analysis system always existed but looked more as a Darsana after the development of Srauta Sutras, Mimamsa Sutras and the Bhashya-Vartika.
