... with this loop, sorry:

for X in true false; do
     for Y in false true; do
       ($X && $Y || exit 1)
     done
     echo "$X/last inner $Y: $?"
done

gives

true/last inner true: 0
false/last inner true: 1

even though on both cases we have at least one failure of Y. (failure of
one subtest = failure of the test)

Looping in the other order:

for X in true false; do
     for Y in true false; do
       ($X && $Y || exit 1)
     done
     echo "$X/last inner $Y: $?"
done

gives

true/last inner false: 1
false/last inner false: 1

as it should be.
