Actually, it can.  The reason why the error occurs within the if statement,
is because constants can't be declared within if-end if blocks,
procedure-end procedure blocks, etc..  What you should do, is create an
integer variable, and assign the value like that.

atom junk
integer id

junk = 1

constant nothing = create(Window,"Name",0,0,0,50,50,0)

if junk then
   id = create(PushButton,"button",nothing,0,0,50,50,0)
end if

-- And you know what happens next... --


Well, I hope that helps.
