Retrospection with montage

Hi
I have a technical question.
I read that when writing a retrospection it can be done like this:

BEGIN OF RETROSPECTION
...
END OF RETROSPECTION

The same goes for montage.

BEGIN OF MONTAGE
...
END OF MONTAGE

But how about a situation when I need to have a combined retrospection with montage. Should these be nested like this?

BEGIN OF RETROSPECTION
BEGIN OF MONTAGE
...
END OF MONTAGE
END OF RETROSPECTION

Or, maybe it is acceptable to write like this:

BEGIN OF RETROSPECTION / MONTAGE
...
END OF MONTAGE / RETROSPECTION

Or maybe it is then enough to write only one of these (only RETROSPECTION or only MONTAGE)?

How do you guys write such things?

Best Regards
JK
 
The term "retrospection" isn't used in a screenplay in the US. So this
will be a personal choice rather than a technical format answer. To answer:
I would not write such things. But if you choose to write this I would
suggest you use "BEGIN" and "END".

Where did you read that when writing a retrospection it can be done like this?
I am curious about the original source. Perhaps I am wrong and the term
is used more than I have seen.
