Yes, and 'relations between features in systems' refers to the system pole of the cline. Relations between elements of structure are dimensions of meaning making in SFL theory, whether viewed from structural potentials realising features in systems or actual structures instantiated in texts

[1] This misunderstands the cline of instantiation. The cline of instantiation is (an intensive attributive) relation between the system and instances (of the system). There are no (syntagmatic) "relations between elements of structure" at the (paradigmatic) system pole of the cline of instantiation.
[2] This misunderstands the cline of instantiation and merges it with (axial) realisation. The cline of instantiation is (an intensive attributive) relation between the system and instances (of the system). "Actual structures" are not instances of a system. The relation between system and structure is realisation (an intensive identifying relation).
