What version are you using?

I'm running:
	ruby 1.6.4 (2001-06-04) [i586-linux-gnu]

<CODE>
def a
  print "a"
  true
end

def b
  print "b"
  false
end

def c
  print "c"
  true
end

def test
  if a or b and c
    print "_test_"
  end
end

test
puts #=> ac_test_
</CODE>

If I understand you correctly, I should have gotten "abc_test_"
