Clearcase config spec for different selection rules per vob in view

The team would like to perform their work with one webview (instead of a view for each vob). vob1 work should be done on main, whereas vob2 work should be done on a different branch (branch1 below). I am not sure what the conceptual problem is with my rules below. I expected that since clearcase will match rules from top to bottom it would apply the selections for vob1 I have specified.

The config Spec I tried will checkout files for vob1 on branch1 instead of main.

element * CHECKEDOUT
element /vobs/vob1/* .../main/LATEST
element /vobs/vob1/* /main/LATEST
element * .../branch1/LATEST
element * /main/LATEST -mkbranch branch1
element * /main/0 -mkbranch branch1
load /vobs/vob1
load /vobs/vob2

Is my desired goal possible? What is the error above?

First, don't hesitate to make a dynamic view in order to test your selection rules: you will see immediately if said selection matches what you need, without having to re-update your snapshot view.

Second, try element /vobs/vob1/... instead of /vobs/vob1/*: that will include the vob root folder itself.
See "Pattern" in the page "config_spec".
