[lojban-beginners] weirder modal connections

Is there The Way to make a modal bridi connection with the first bridi
on non-x2 place of unconverted modal? CLL describes the way to swap x1
with something, but how can we swap out x2.

For example to say:
  zo'e basna le nu "feature" kei lenu "action" kei
in a bit more friendly way, like
  "action taken place" .i "emphasizing feature"
we need to get basna's x3 into x2 place and x2 into x1
So far i've found 2 possibilities:

1. converting selbri twice (... fi'o se te basna ...) -- which, imho,
would make the text uncomprehensible for human

2. "masking" all but 2 needed places (fi'o se basna be zi'o) -- not
sure, how it works for more distant places, "lot" of "bei zi'o"s would
not make things prettier.

So, have i missed "true" way, and which one is better?
