Multiple location match in nginx

nginx.conf

location ~ ^/(.*)/(.*)/other/stuff/(.*)/this-is-static {
  location /static-cache {
    # root/alias or other config here
  }
  try_files /static-cache/$1/$2/$3/this-is-static @app;
}

# or

location ~ ^/(.*)/(.*)/other/stuff/(.*)/this-is-static {
  # if you use static-cache in other location blocks and/or the root scope:
  include static-cache.conf;
  try_files /static-cache/$1/$2/$3/this-is-static @app;
}

This does not work at all since the inner location needs to be a more specific variant of the outer location.

I tried this, except with the location /static-cache part outside. Didn't work :/

Oh, scratch that, I missed out on the ~ part.
