Conditional Logic Notes and Considerations

You can nest CFIF tags within conditional logic blocks, but, remember, that you will need to track the logic and, also, complex nesting requires processing time.
Only one CFELSE tag can be inside each CFIF block.
You can have many CFELSEIF tags.

Refer to the CFML Language Reference for ColdFusion Express for more information about this tag.

When creating conditional logic blocks, always list the most likely to occur at the top of the block and work downward to the least likely.
ColdFusion exits the CFIF block once it evaluates a true expression.
