Can it be an aplicationapplication of a theorem if I only use it to generalize?

So I've been trying for a wilewhile to write an article on 3 aplicationapplications of some theorem for a small journal. But after finding my second example I realized that I didn't need the theorem to prove it. Now, the two proofproofs are linked by another theorem which I used in bouthboth for some constructions, but I use it just so I could generalize them from a particular case which I proved using other method. Now the question is do thisthese two proofs still count as an aplicationapplication the second theorem?
