problem_statement: Nesting selectors in a selector list causes a stylesheet error
If you have a stylesheet like this:

```python
from textual.app import App, ComposeResult
from textual.widgets import Label

class NestedCSSTokenErrorApp(App[None]):

    CSS = """
    Label {
        &.foo, &.bar {
            border: solid red;
        }
    }
    """

    def compose(self) -> ComposeResult:
        yield Label("This is class foo", classes="foo")
        yield Label("This is class bar", classes="bar")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    NestedCSSTokenErrorApp().run()
```

the result is:

```
Error in stylesheet:

 • Expected selector or { (found '&.bar {').                                                                                                           
 • Did you forget a semicolon at the end of a line? 
```

This feels like a bug given that it's a slightly different way of writing this:

```python
from textual.app import App, ComposeResult
from textual.widgets import Label

class NestedCSSTokenErrorApp(App[None]):

    CSS = """
    Label {
        &.foo {
            border: solid red;
        }
        &.bar {
            border: solid red;
        }
    }
    """

    def compose(self) -> ComposeResult:
        yield Label("This is class foo", classes="foo")
        yield Label("This is class bar", classes="bar")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    NestedCSSTokenErrorApp().run()
```
