No need for apologies 🙂 We merely want to coax out of you what you're actually intending to do, hopefully to provide clarification as far as creating Appian code that's more graceful and/or efficient.

I'm not even sure what you mean by "nested variables" in the context of the code sample you've posted here. Any chance you could post a cleaner example, with indentation, and in a Code Box where it'll maintain some amount of readability? If any of the wording ("and this" etc) is meant as annotative, then put it in /* comment blocks */ for clarity.

I will say, up front, that you can nest and() and or() conditional logic to almost any level (limited only by a viewer's ability to make sense of whatever spaghetti code we end up creating), which never requires "{}" - since as Stefan correctly noted, these specifically incidate arrays to Appian.

As curly brackets indicate a list in Appian, I would not do that. There are some ugly edge cases, almost impossible to debug.
