That's was the problem, thanks.

No weird pattern here, it is the same as before:
:g/START/;/END/normal :exe 'echo '.line('.')^M
which you can also write as
:g#START#;/END/normal :exe 'echo '.line('.')^M
This executes the following command on all lines matching /START/. On those
lines, the command is 'further restricted' to the range
;/END/
which stands for 'all lines between the line containing the cursor and the
next match of /END/'
This kind of range (omitting the first component) is not explicitly
documented in the vim help, but it works just fine.
