That looks a bit like prefix+root+inflection,
as in the word "pre-fix-ed". You would still need
prepositions, I think, which would be messy.
It looks both too Latin and too English ...
Maybe pure affix agglutination is better?

I once had a scheme using prepositional markers
for agent, patient, predicate (!), dative, instrumental,
and a few more. It allowed free "word" (phrase) order.
Until recently, I thought the predicate "case" too weird.

Also, it used "patient" for "predicate adjective",
which may be more equivalent to your "modifier".
Would you use it also within a noun phrase? ...
