I don't think you can make it work this way. Simply use two separate JOINS with a UNION, e.g. JOIN with the table based on the field and condition and then UNION with join based on another field with WHERE.

Alternatively you can do

JOIN TABLE1 ON (Table2.Order_NO > 0 and Table2.ID_Field = ..) OR (....)
