Hi Aditya,
this can only be used if you define your environment in this way:
\def\startFOO{...}
\def\stopFoo{...}
I defined my environment in this way:
\def\startFOO#1\stopFOO{...}
This means TeX reads everything from \startFOO till \stopFOO and looks
afterwards at the replacement text.
I used tried the first way with saving the content into a buffer and
using the buffer content. This did no longer work when you try to write:
\placefloat
{\startFOO
...
\stopFOO}
or
\starcombination[...]
{\startFOO
...
\stopFOO}
{}
...
\stopcombination
Wolfgang
