When you combine simple or negated simple conditions in a consecutive sequence, you can abbreviate any of the relation conditions except the first. You can do this by either: 1) Omitting the subject of the relation condition 2) Omitting both the subject and the relational operator of the condition A relation condition in the consecutive sequence must contain a subject (or subject and relational operator) that is common with the preceding relation condition. There must be no parentheses in the consecutive sequence. Format - relation-condition { { AND } [NOT] [relational-operator] object } ... { { OR } }
