You can't nest if statements in nginx.  Every time that I've needed
nested if statements I've been able to wrap it up in a separate
location block or something similar.  Sometimes you have to think
about it for a little bit, but the solution usually presents itself.

You probably can leverage break/last to allow fall through in your
logic, but personally I always incorrectly guess the behavior the
first time I look at mroe complex rewrites. :)

I'd love to see nested ifs in nginx but I am a little scared about how
people will use them.
