As an answer to your question if I did

put "0,1,0" into temp
put item 1 of temp + 1

It will put "1" in the message box because the "item 1 of temp" is executed
first, giving "0", and then +1 is executed, adding 1 to the result of the
first, which is then send to the message box. Therefore, (item 1 of temp) +
1 is the same as item 1 of temp + 1.
