I may be wrong here, but I believe you are conflating plain lists and headlines
Plain lists may include checkboxes and start with '-'
- [ ] list item one
- [ ] list item two
- [X] list item two.one
Etc.
Headlines may get priorities and start with '*{1,}'
* TODO [#A] headline one
* TODO [#B] headline two
** WORK [#A] headline two.one
Etc.
I don't think you can include priorities in list items nor checkboxes in list
items.
Lists are supposed to be a 'lightweight' version of TODO headlines.
They can, however, be mixed like this, where each headline has it's own
separate list underneath it.
* TODO [#A] headline one
- [ ] list item one
- [ ] list item two
- [ ] list item two.one
* WORK [#B] headline two
- [X] list item one
- [/] list item two
- [X] list item two.one
- [ ] list item two.two
** TODO [#A] headline two.one
- [ ] list item one
- [ ] list item two
Etc.
