Daniel, here's a way to use marker actions to setup your workflow. Using your same marker nomenclature, setup the following:
...M1__[Take1]__M2.......................................
................M3__[Take2]__M4..........................
...........................M5__[Take3]__M6...............
.......................................M7__[Take4]__M8...

M1 = "!1013" record
M2 = "!1013 40434 40613 40172 1013" record stop (toggle), move edit cursor to play cursor, delete marker, move to previous marker, record
M3 = no name
M4,M6 = M2
M5,M7 = no name
M8 = "!1016" stop

So this gets around the infinite loop issue with self deleting markers. However, you lose your setup. You may want to bind "SWS: Copy marker set to clipboard" and "SWS: Paste marker set to clipboard" to keys, or maybe just embed those actions in the start/stop markers. (I would have done it for you, but AFAIK extension action #s are not consistent across computers) You may also want to check out the features "SWS: Save marker set" and "SWS: Load marker set".

Also, this doesn't work for some reason if the start take/end take markers are too close together.

If you copy the following to your clipboard and run my action "SWS: Paste markers from clipboard" you'll have a three take setup ready for you to drag the markers wherever you need them.

Code:
1 2.00000000000000 "!1013 Take1Start" 0 -1.00000000000000
2 8.00000000000000 "Take2Start" 0 -1.00000000000000
3 10.50000000000000 "!1013 40434 40613 40172 1013 TakeStop" 0 -1.00000000000000
6 14.50000000000000 "Take3Start" 0 -1.00000000000000
4 16.00000000000000 "!1013 40434 40613 40172 1013 TakeStop" 0 -1.00000000000000
5 26.00000000000000 "!1016 Stop" 0 -1.00000000000000
Hope this helps!
