Nested Conditionals

How does one translate this in conditional logic:

"If one has X, everyone must do Y, if they are to achieve X"
Example: "If one has defined a goal, everyone must work together, if they are to achieve that goal"
Is it two seperate conditionals: defined goal > work together & achieve goal > work together
Or is it: achieve goal > (defined goal > work together)

    DG + ADG → DG + WT

    or factor "if one has a defined goal" out:

    DG → (ADG → WT)

    or just say you are confined to the domain of DG... in other words in the world where you have a defined goal:

    ADG → WT

    Using your example, I would use three separate variables, since "defined a goal" and "achieved [that] goal" are two different things. My diagram would be:

    Defined goal --> (achieve goal --> work together)
    or
    Defined goal + achieve goal --> work together

    Hope that helps!
