IIUC, it means after reading the first file (if any) to be edited. See
":help startup" for details. If all your editfiles are set by your
session script, then of course there is no editfile before sourcing
your two startup scripts.

Using --cmd instead of -c (or -S which is equivalent to -c 'source
...' would allow you to define one or more ex-commands to be executed
even before reading the vimrc, but in this case it isn't what you
want.

Best regards,
Tony.
