Try this workaround:

nodist_foo_SOURCES = src1.cc src2.cc src3.cc src4.cc src5.cc
EXTRA_DIST = src1.cc src4.cc src5.cc

You could also factor (by whole names):

src1 = src1.cc
src2 = src2.cc src3.cc
src3 = src4.cc src5.cc
nodist_foo_SOURCES = $(src1) $(src2) $(src3)
EXTRA_DIST = $(src1) $(src3)

Just curious: what's the reason for the ordering constraint?

Cheers,
Ralf
