Sufficient-->Necessary, Cause --> Effect, Before-->After

I am really confused about the relationship between these three things.
Sufficient-->Necessary, Cause --> Effect, Before-->After
Is it okay to understand like this?
All are in same logic?

    So these are not all the same logic, one is conditional logic (sufficient, necessary) while the other is causation logic (which has a temporal relationship).

    Conditional logic has nothing to do with causation. Essentially conditional logic is just a way of representing information in a way that allows you to make a decision based on the occurrence or lack of occurrence of a condition. When you're dealing with conditional logic four things can happen. look at an example of A --> B

    1) We fail the sufficient condition (/A) then the rule would fall away.
    2) We trigger the sufficient condition A, then we can conclude B.
    3) We affirm the necessary condition (B), the rule falls away.
    4) We fail the necessary condition (/B), then we can conclude a failure of the sufficient (/A)

    Causation logic is all about cause and effect relationships, and does have a temporal relationship. Meaning If I say the chipotle I ate last night made me sick, well then I must have ate the chipotle before I got sick, because If I ate the chipotle after getting sick- well then how can I say the chipotle caused me to get sick? Like conditional logic, theres also 4 important things to look out for when dealing with causation. look at an example of A caused B, 4 possibilities exist.

    1) A actually caused B
    2) B actually caused A
    3) Third variable (C) caused both A and B.
    4) Theres actually no causal relationship.
