My experience with the trouble of right using of [if...] tell me some
more story. 

Some common case of the trouble/problem is:

- you have too much [if...] and too deepest [if...] constructions.
- you try to check some tag, which canīt us in any [if ..]
constructions.
- Some UserTag canīt use with [if...] tags.

A carefully using to check any value or output of any tags is to set it
into the scratch variable and use this variable for the if conditions
instead. For example:

[set name="name-of-the-scratch-variable"
interpolate=1][any-tag-to-check][/set] 

(all in one line)
