Not sure what you mean by "filters can be invoked between resources / sub resource method invocations". Note that subresource locators are part of JAX-RS request-to-resource method matching facility and following is the only possible scenario for any matched request:
request -> [subresource-locator [-> ... -> subresource-locator] -> ] resource method
The above demonstrates that zero or more sub-resource locators may be invoked as part of the request URI matching process. If we add filters into picture, we get:
request -> pre-match filters -> [subresource-locator [-> ... -> subresource-locator] -> ] post-match global & name-bound filters -> resource method
The name-bound filters are selected based on the resource method and it's owner instance that was matched to ultimately handle the request (with or without help of sub-resource locators).

It would be good if you could come up with concrete suggestions for improvements. It's hard to see what does "more clear" mean in general.
