Subject: Cond loop vs iterator and scope questions

Hello, just 2 simple questions...

1. Why is it that you cannot have an iterator nested inside a
conditional loop?  I'm sure there's a good reason, but it escapes me.

2. Is it possible in Ruby, from within a block, to modify variables
that belong to the calling object?  Something similar to Array#map!  Or
must this be done in C?

Thanks,
Todd
