Hmm.. I guess you are right... You would have to reverse it...

if a = 1 and a = 2 and a = 3 then
     do the other thingamajig
     exit
elsif a= 1 and a = 2 then
        do that
            exit
elsif a =  1 then
       do this
            exit
else
        don't do anything at all
end if

Is this better?  I guess the key word to get in my post was "If done right"
