The rule you are looking for is 8.5.2. The pitcher is legally in the game as the pitcher of record after the substitute is reported, and she throws either (1) a warm-up pitch; or (2) a pitch to the first batter if she is not entitled to warmup pitches.
In my opinion, #11 became the pitcher of record for that inning with the first warmup. (8.5.2.1 allows us to remove a pitcher from the position without the requirement to actually throw a pitch or face a batter.) #24 is a legal replacement since she was legally reported before she threw pitches, and gets 5 warmups. (8.5.2.2) When #11 returned to pitch in the same inning, she should not have been granted any warmup pitches. (8.5.2.3)
