Probably you know this; if so, I apologize for sticking my nose in.

The sequence

   \relative c { block1 }  { block2 }

is two sequential music expressions.  Virtually anyplace in LilyPond that
allows a music expression requires exactly one; so in practice the
foregoing would have to be

   { \relative c { block1 }  { block2 } }

so that it would be just a single expression.  And in fact

   { \relative c { block1 }    block2   }

would also be syntactically correct.
