I think that it should work either way, providing the data is
imported first. If it were in the same ldif file, I'd put it
contextually before your current data, i.e. prepend, rather than
append. A separate ldif file should be imported first, too.

If all of these objectclasses are relevant. Probably need at least 
objectclass: top - I doubt the others are necessary.
