I think I get what you're saying, I found a similar idea.

I didn't get how to use “next style” until I saw a tutorial on it here:

https://layersmagazine.com/usin…..esign.html

So basically this was what I created:

Paragraph Style 1 (bold) –> under general, set next style: Paragraph Style 2.

Paragraph Style 2 (normal) –> under general, set next style: Paragraph Style 3.

Paragraph Style 3 (normal) –> under general, set next style: Paragraph Style 4.

Paragraph Style 4 (normal) -> under general, set next style: Paragraph Style 1.

So it bolds the first line, the next two lines are normal. The 4th style is because the empty line between paragraps is considered a 4th paragraph. The style then loops back to the first style. For anyone else puzzled as to why their “next style” isn't automatically kicking in, you need to right click the style in your paragraph palette and then choose “Apply [stylename] then next style”.
