The ability of a team lead to convince a team member that thing A is of more priority than the other thing B entirely depends on his/her quality of communication.
One of the possible ways to do this would be arrange the sequence of events in a manner that would emphsise the occurence of A before B. For instance, one might say - "But don't you think that if A were to happen before B we could be able to achieve B in a more efficient manner?..."
Make it an open question and let the team member ponder over this...At least while s/he thinks this through, the team lead will buy time to get the higher priority thing done!
