No, it is correct. I assume the Step procedures know what to do themselves.

Try something like:

set procedure to steps
lCheck = step3(step2(step1()))
lCheck = step3(step2(step1(.t.)))

*** Steps.prg
PROCEDURE step1
	LPARAMETER tl1
	* lResult = [you may do something logical here]
	lResult = tl1 && just as a default value 
RETURN lResult

PROCEDURE step2
	LPARAMETER tl1
	* do something
	lResult = tl1 AND .T. && OR some other valid logical expression instead of just .t.
RETURN lResult

PROCEDURE step3
	LPARAMETER tl1
	* do something
	lResult = tl1 AND .T. && R OR some other valid logical expression instead of just .t.
RETURN lResult
