The syntax :.-.: is intended for sitations where a continuous range of code that spans a few lines is the locus of the error. In the case you're talking about, it is certainly better to generate 3 different error messages, one for each of those error loci, using the GNU standard format to indicate them. They can be supplemented by other text that explains how the three statements relate to each other and constitute an error.
