EDD Context Rules for a parent element possible?

Hi all,

I understand the use of {first} when identifying the context of an element, such as:

If context is: {first}<Section

But what if I want to set whether Section is first inside its parent?

For instance, for this hierarchy:

<chapter>

  <section></title></section>

  <section></title></section>

</chapter>

I want to say that if <title> appears in the first <section> element within a <chapter>,  then apply a particular format.  Otherwise, apply a different format if <title> appears in a <section> that is not first within a <chapter>. -- i.e. a parent element context, if you will.

The syntax to do this is eluding me.  My EDD has a series of context rules for a <title>, including for when it appears within a <section>, like this:

Else, if context is: Section < Chapter
     If context is: <{first}<Chapter
        Use paragraph format: Heading1NoNewPage
     Else
        Use paragraph format: Heading1

Whatever syntax I try for the context rule above (that the section be first within the chapter), I get parsing errors or the rule is not read.  I've tried:

If context is: Section<Chapter{first}

If context is: <{first}<Chapter                   // invalid

If context is: Section{first}<Chapter          // applies only Heading1; never reads this

If context is: Section < {first} Chapter       // invalid

Any ideas if there is a syntax that allows you to set a context for  the parent element, and not just for the element in question?

Thanks for anyone's help on this.
