If you consider a "Main" lake point as being any point to a bay or inlet that is on the main lake, then any secondary point is any 'big' point that is in that bay or inlet.
I'm not sure where you fish, but take lake Barkley as an example. Eddy Creek is a very large bay on Barkley. The main lake points are the two as you enter the bay. I consider the 'secondary' points as those major points that go back into the bay. I realize that could mean as much as a mile or more of secondary points as I go further into the bay and up that creek *smirk*, and I am sure others will offer better definitions. However, this definition works well for me.
Good luck, and tight lines,
