Unable to use if condition inside an if condition in nginx configuration file app.conf

I am checking some IF condition (inside server directive), if it is passed then check other IF condition and if it is also passed then return some test. My code is as follows

if ($a != "Tree") {
if ($a != "Plant") { return 403 "It is not tree or plant"; 
 }
 }

When I am using this code I am getting error for second IF as "if" directive is not allowed here.

If you need to check multiple conditions you can use this

In your case it would be:

if ($a != "Tree") { 
  set $test  no-tree; 
} 

if ($a != "Plant") { 
  set $test  "${test}+no-plant"; 
} 

if ($test = no-tree+no-plant) { 
    return 403 "It is not tree or plant";
}

But I wouldn't recommend using it unless its really necessary.
