Before usually refers to time; 'before christmas' 'those who have gone before' 'the day before yesterday'
'In front of' usually refers to physical space: 'she was sitting in front of me' 'park in front of the house'
Sometimes they are interchangeable; 'you were before me / in front of me in the queue' because you could conceive of this as before in time and in space

Before would indicate that something has predated the 'thing' it is before. Or, that something has recurred (Before/again).
In front of usually refers to a physical/numerogical positioning.

before and in front of, both are prepostion and usually we use them before noun.
I went to the classroom before you. that means I went first, then you come after me.
I am in front of you. That means I'm standing in your sight.

"before" is like "prior". "in front of" is like something or someone is facing something.
i.e. before you reach the dog, you will see the box
you will see the box in front of the dog

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you're asking.
