Meaning?
The main take-away from our discussion is that in sentences like
... knew that ... would have ...
... thought that ... would have ...
the knowing or thinking precede the action we know or think is going to happen.
So they both refer to future in the past meaning going to happen after “knew” and “thought”. Is that what you meant by saying “precede”?
