A couple of days ago at Rotterdam I was holding at V1 which is the last but one entry to RW24. Another aircraft was entering via the end of runway holding point, and I was given an instruction that I recall as "after the departing <aircraft type> line up behind and wait". Thus I needed to wait until the other had commenced its take-off roll and passed the intersection.

In operations at my home base, I don't recall an aircraft at an intersection being given such a conditional line-up clearance that included waiting for a departing aircraft to pass an intersection. Is that standard practice? It reminded me of the runway collision at CDG a few years ago, though in this particular case it was perfectly clear what was intended.
