Obviously you are confused enough already without adding and/or
precedence to the equation. 
If I had a say in it, I would make mixed and/or constructs generate an
"ambiguous" error and force the programmer to add parenthesis.
I just don't see the point of writing constructs that you need to go
and look in a manual to decipher (or even write in the first place!)
when a few brackets will quickly and easily make it explict and
unambiguous.
Line breaks and indents are also good visual clues, eg:
if a
and ( b
or c)
and d then
