A different way to explain Bart's comment is that the inner loop over j is
a compound statement (between the inner loop begin/end block) which is
followed by more statements (the statements after the first end quoted
above).  If you comment out the outer begin/end block these statements are
not included in the execution of the outer loop, so for example my_base is
not incremented as part of the outer loop if the begin/end pair is
commented out as indicated in your example.
