For my DSL I have a syntax region for text between a pair of delimiters inside which other syntax items should come in a specific order, say first dslFoo, then dslBar, then dslBaz. I can use nextgroup=dslBar to declare which item should come after dslFoo and so on, but how do I declare that the first item inside the region must be a dslFoo? Is there a better approach than defining the opening delimiter as a match item to be followed by a dslFoo item and so on, but doesn't that prevent me from using contains and containedin? I wish I could do something like firstcontained=dslFoo on the region.

What is the best way to do this?

Good luck with getting this! I've asked for it over a decade ago. Bottom line: currently, you can't.

Uses: region would start properly but, since its a region, would allow it to be folded, syntax changed (perl/tex/sh) for start/end patterns, etc.
