Think of it like a business that has a subsiderary.

Moving away from John 17:3, your "subsidiary" language risks making Jesus as not equal with the Father. You might be able to argue that (Arius did), but then you have the problem of oneness.
Is Jesus a little less God than is the Father?
There are lots of tensions in the scriptures on this.
