Yes, in a sentence with both a direct and indirect object, the indirect object typically precedes the direct object. For example, in the sentence "She gave him a book," "him" is the indirect object and "book" is the direct object.
In the sentence "Your visit to the museum was educational", "visit" is the direct object. An indirect object would typically receive the direct object, such as in the sentence "I gave her a gift" where "her" is the indirect object receiving the direct object "gift".
"You" can be either a direct or indirect object: It is a direct object in "I want to kiss you." It is an indirect object in "Henry is going to give you the tickets."
