Was just wondering if it's possible for the main domains homepage to ever get outranked for an inner page or a sub-domain of the main domain ?

If someone could explain how it all works that would be superb!

If inner page or a sub-domain has more backlinks, it can have higher rank.
I had one site with pr4 and inner pages had pr5.

The Page Rank is the importance of the particular page in the view of Google, this is not wondering if your inner page has more useful content, proper design and link structure than home page. So it's importance is more than your home page in the view of Google, still possibly it can be a fake PR also.

I think it would be better if you include some of the matter in the inner pages on the frontpage by way of hyperlinks or any other connecting phenomenon.

Your services page, blog posts and other pages on your site are all important. You shouldn't focus solely on your homepage and should work towards building internal links that will send users to other parts of your website. It's time to dive deeper and get your internal pages higher up in organic searh results.

If the other pages belong to the same domain and if those pages create competition with home page for same keywords then there is a chance for home page for being outranked.
Subdomain may be a strong reason for making your webpage outranked. We should keep our all folders, file in a same domain.

Backlink is not the only reason for the same, their are various other factors as well like Quality of Page Content, how relevant is your home page or inner sub page for the user query.
