do while scope

[Glen Huang]

Ah, yes, I meant reference error.

I just realized maybe my mental model is wrong:

Is it correct that this is the scope chain for a "for" loop?

top scope
  for condition scope
    for statement scope

Statement can reference variables defined in condition, but not the other way around?
