Re: Carbon Laminate / Light Plastic Cladding
Correct. Structure is an internal component, and is indeed the first internal component on every internal damage card.
So your structure won't be affected until all your ablative armor is gone. Then you structure takes the next N hits, until it is exhausted and turned over.
But as long as your structure is still operating, even prior to your external armor being depleted, the structure's bonus defense dice, if any, are applicable to any weapon attack against that side.
Put another way, a structure card with a good defense dice effect will make your external armor last longer.
