There have been several threads touching on this
over the last few months on Statalist.
In essence, nested -for- sometimes works, but
it is not guaranteed to work.
I don't understand this example, but -forvalues-
and -foreach- nest very well and are strongly
recommended for nested problems.
There is a tutorial in Stata Journal 2(2), 202-222 (2002);
if you do not have access to SJ, the substance of that is
accessible at http://www.stata.com/support/meeting/8uk/fortitude.pdf
