You can add coils before OAM (OutdoorAir:Mixer). You can refer to the ExampleFile: TermRhGenericOAHeatRecPreheat.idf in your PC.

The order of componets in the ExampleFile is

(Outdoor air) -> Preheat coil -> HEX -> OAM -> Fan -> Cooling coil

The preheat coil and the HEX are listed in AirLoopHVAC:OutdoorAirSystem:EquipmentList.
