Did this policy include the idea of sequences (playing near the last 
move), and if so, was that developed independently?

Memories are notoriously faulty. Priority has to be given to published

after MoGo established itself and published the ideas behind the 
implementation that you would have gotten there on your own with 
Steenvreter.
