When you enter a begin/end only those rules inside the pattern block and the end pattern are active. So when you enter the second one in your example the end pattern isn't being checked anymore. It's not possible to directly do what you want, no. The workaround is to have special end rules in the sub-patterns that check for the normal end and the parents end in a look-ahead. Of course this makes them not as reusable.
