NO Nesting

IF and ELSE conditions cannot be nested. A new IF statement starts fresh. For example:

IF condition-a THEN  instruction-1,
                     instruction-2,
IF condition-b THEN  instruction-3,
                     instruction-4,
ELSE                 instruction-5,
ALWAYS               instruction-6

This set of instructions can have four possible outcomes, as follows:

First IF Satisfied

Second IF Satisfied
