I can't/didn't contribute much to this discussion, but I do follow it. My idea and (little) testing experience supports the explanation of Dimitry. Either way, it 'proofs' there is confusion about the working of the 'break' in condition tags. If I can find the time, I will try to do some tests / build an example myself. Thank you both for the answers and insights so far.
Okay, for those of you who have the bridge book, please go to page 167-168. Darren did a really good job of explaining this. For those of you who don't have the book, SHAME! :)
Thanks for the explanation, and I just ordered the book :)
Glad to hear it! Also, it turns out that Darren and I both discuss this in the book. I wrote chapter 5, and I talk about this on page 89. When Packt did the index on the word "break" they got confused because Darren and I used the expressions "break attribute", "break flag", and "break parameter" all referring to the same thing. I have my copy of the book and I write notes on every page where I find something wrong or otherwise needs to be changed. Hopefully if/when we do a 2nd edition of this book we will be more consistent so that the index is more useful. -MC
