put 0 into tCounter
repeat with a = 1 to 10
 repeat with b = 1 to 10
   repeat with c = 1 to 10
     repeat with d = 1 to 10
       repeat with e = 1 to 10
         add 1 to tCounter
         -- do stuff with variables here
       end repeat  -- e = 1 to 10
       -- more processing
     end repeat  -- d = 1 to 10
     -- more processing
   end repeat  -- c = 1 to 10
   -- more processing
 end repeat  -- b = 1 to 10
 -- more processing
end repeat  -- a = 1 to 10
