It would seem that what's wrong with the first command is simply that
:p, which is the command used by default by :g, by itself prints only
*one* line. If you instead explicitly use :p {count}, e.g.
":g/future.*ref.*\n.*\n/p 3", it seems to work.

But, was this what you meant to ask in the first question, or an
additional issue?
«trying to match a couple (maybe more later) of words occurring within 3
lines of each other in any order» seems to mean more what Tim helped you
with...?
