I apologize for frustrating you.. My misunderstanding was a combination of 
not reading the documentation clearly and going by partial examples 
combined with taking the "obvious" interpretation. I went back and read the 
documentation at http://leoeditor.com/directives.html

There you clearly wrote: 

@first <text>
> Places lines at the very start of an external file, before any Leo 
> sentinels. @first lines must be the very first lines in an @<file> node. 
> More then one @first lines may appear. 


Confusing (to me) references to @first:

1) http://leoeditor.com/basics4.html#using-first

The @first directive forces a lines to appear before the first sentinel of 
> a external file. For example:


There was no mention of where the@first directive should go. Potential 
rewrite:

The @first directive forces a lines to appear at the start of a external 
file. The @first directive is valid only at the beginning of an @clean or 
@file section. The order in which the @first directives are written will be 
replicated in the external file.

2) http://leoeditor.com/glossary.html

@first <text>

The @first directive allows you to place one or more lines at the very 
> start of an external file, before the first sentinel. For example:


Same ambiguous wording as above. Same fix?

hope this helps.
