In English a phrase such as “Call me when you get home” can be reversed into “When you get home, call me.”
Is this also possible in Chinese?
I tried to answer the question myself, but I could only think of myself using the dependent clause first and never using it second in Chinese class.
Also, all the examples on AllSet Learning have the dependent clause in the beginning, but the site doesn’t specifically condemn the reverse.
Is it grammatically acceptable in Chinese?
It is not accepted in writing Chinese, however, you can say that in oral Chinese, like
给我打电话吧，等你回家之后
The second part of the sentence is served as a complementary clarification and even though, it is not commonly used.
If you write it that way, it is not grammatically acceptable.
In Mandarin, relative (your "dependent") clauses always precede the noun they modify (and there are no really "relative pronouns" in Info-European sense).
The basic word order is subject–verb–object (SVO). Otherwise, Chinese is chiefly a head-last language, meaning that modifiers precede the words they modify – in a noun phrase, for example, the head noun comes last, and all modifiers, including relative clauses, come in front of it.
