You could try something like this:

(element book
  (sosofo-append
    (process-node-list (select-elements (children) "preface"))

    (making of the toc)
  
    (process-node-list (select-elements (children) "chapter"))))
  
thus choosing to process the prefaces, the toc and then the chapters
with the help of select-elements.

I think (not tested), that you could do something like that too:

(element chapter
  (sosofo-append
    (if (equal? (child-number) 1)
        (making of the toc)
	(empty-sosofo))

if you are processing the first chapter (or the las preface), you insert
the building of vthe toc.
