Oh yes. I was bitten again by that just a couple of days ago. I had:

if(sometest)
    do(this);
else
    do(that);

And needed another (separate) test for do(this), so naturally changed
the code to be:

if(sometest)
    if(othertest)
        do(this);
else
    do(that);

It made me wish I was writing the program in Python -- no silly braces
to have to put in there :)
