I think you may use wrong logic. You want the program testing all the cases
one by one, if out of above case do other job! So, using a stand simple non-nested if..endif statement with a flag to carry out of above case is done!!

PassFlag = .F.
IF lExpression1
  Commands
  PassFlag = .T.
EndIF
IF lExpression2
  Commands
  PassFlag = .T.
EndIF
IF lExpression3
  Commands
  PassFlag = .T.
EndIF
IF lExpression4
  Commands
  PassFlag = .T.
EndIF
* OUT OF Above CASES!!
IF PassFlag = .F.
  * do otherwise coding here!!
ENDIF

Or you can use this, but more hard to understand!

PassFlag = -1
do while PassFlag <> 0
do case
case lExpression1 And PassFlag < 1
   commands
   PassFlag = 1  && Preventing to run this part when 2nd loop
   LOOP          && Back to Do While again
case lExpression2 And PassFlag < 2
   commands
   PassFlag = 2  && Preventing to run this part when 2nd loop
   LOOP          && Back to Do While again
case lExpression3 And PassFlag < 3
   commands
   PassFlag = 3  && Preventing to run this part when 2nd loop
   LOOP          && Back to Do While again
...
OtherWise
  PassFlag = 0  && 
EndDo

2nd Version is Poor because it do (1+2+3+...+n)*2 comparasion + .and. gate logic
The performance is poor but you need to modify less coding!

1st Version is Perfect because it do n+1 comparasion.
I suggest you to use 1st version. More easy to maintain and fast in performance

2nd Version is only a concept to work as you desire but surely not good even work! if you can find any method or logic better than it. Tell me! ^_^;
