Imagine it was the other way around: like you wanted to reference תֵּל־אָבִיב-יָפוֹ in the middle of an English sentence. That, but reversed.

It is different though, because with LTR RTL LTR:

1) once you've read the first LTR you end in the right place for the RTL

2) even if you consider the LTRs to be two distinct documents it doesn't change the order. I can imagine the LTR 'breaking' the RTL text such that the sections are treated separately.

But I understand what you were saying, so thanks for the answer!

On 1, no you’re not. After the first LTR you’re at the end of the RTL.

On 2, I’m not sure I understand. The situation is the same for both primary directions.
