    I am not sure whether you are talking ASN.1 or something else.
    
    But for ASN.1, the extension marker can appear anywhere in a SEQUENCE etc, but 
    if it is in the middle, the syntax is (eg):
    
    Fred ::= SEQUENCE {
    first	First,
    second	Second,
    ...,
    ...,
    third	Third,
    fourth	Fourth}
    
    The next version puts additional elements between the two extension markers.
    
    Please note (you probably already know) that if you want backwards 
    compatability, the extension markers have to be present in "version 1",  and you 
    cannot move them in "version 2".
