I don't know, but it happened to me as well. Maybe Raven will have some idea , but i don't really know. But i think its something about user defined types that screw it up.

"But we couldn't do that Mr Flibble," questioned Rimmer. "Who'd clean up the mess?"

I know this problem, and I have a work around...

If you declare your type, for example; as a boolean, it will not work.
If you simply leave your types undeclared they are considered integer types and work perfectly (well, they have in my case), however, any types declared as boolean or float etc., don't work.

Obviously, if you need to test against types using floats you are screwed

So..

Dog(1).Pos.X as float // This doesn't work in if conditions
Dog(1).Pos.X // This works fine in if conditions

still falling out of my binary tree most evenings (hicup!)

this code works ... just tested it, test it on your system - if it doesn't work then i'd suggest you upgrade to p4.1

[edit-]
just tested it with all values, works a treat
you can also add arrays as just tested it with 5 seperate dimensions and works fine
