William,
As long as you include Lagerpeton and Dromomeron, and especially
pterosaurs, as dino-sisters, you're going to have trouble with the
origin of dinos. Take a longer look, start with Prolacerta and
Protorosaurus then throw everything that succeeded it in the Triassic
into the tree. Maybe use Hylonomus and Captorhinus as outgroups if you
insist on using pterosaurs.
