when it's part of "network-online.target" what is wrong in that case it 
hardly can have a implicit "Before=network-online.target"

"it will automatically add an After=" at the same time as "automatically 
have a Before=" is simply impossible

that is the problem

"WantedBy=multi-user.target" is the right thing for nearly all units 
unless you know exactly what you are doing and why
