Assuming that the property should link instance P to instance X, both of
class :Operation, then you should use "X :precedence P".

"X a P", a shortcut for "X rdf:type P", would imply that P is an
rdf:Class and X an instance of said class P. Extending the semantics of
'rdf:type' and using an instance as a class seems a bad idea.
