in-line

One behind another

In-line means arranged in a single row or sequence.

In-line skates have wheels aligned in a single track rather than paired side by side.

In computing, in-line code is embedded directly within surrounding text or a larger program rather than called from elsewhere.

The spelling inline (one word) is common in technical contexts.
