As people have already pointed you probably have something like main config nginx.conf  with:

http {
..
include sites-enabled/*;
..
}

where each separate config file indeed doesn't need an extra http {} but the different server{} blocks still end up being within a (single) http {}.

Nginx includes/parses the files in the order they appear in the directory (sites-enabled/) - as it was stated you might try to check if the server file before " server.domain.tld -ssl" has a correct configuration (all the braces {} are closed etc).
