If we can tolerate 2 extra lines of code we can do nested exits this way:

   repeat with i = 1 to tSomething
      if exitMe = true then exit repeat
      repeat with j = 1 to tSomethingElse
         if exitMe = true then exit repeat
         DoSomethingWith i,j
         put true into exitMe
      end repeat
   end repeat
