In all these examples you have /DajaH/. The prefix Da- makes this a
statement, not a command. To turn it into a command you want the prefix
yI-.
The noun-noun cluster /lojmIt 'em juH/ is "The house of the area behind the
door."

> lojmIt’em DajaH
We can't stick words together like this.
/lojmIt 'em yIjaH/ is "Go to the area behind the door".
/'em lojmIt yIjaH/ is "Go to the door of the area behind."
/juH 'em lojmIt yIjaH/ "Go to the door of the area behind the house."
We also have the word 'o' - aft.
'o' lojmIt yIjaH "Go to the aft door."
