Like `break', `continue' can reside inside (deeply) nested if-then 
constructs, in multiple places. (Your question kind of assumes that 
`continue' can be only called from the outermost loop level).

while loop() do
  if c1() then
    ......
    if c2() then
       ......
    else
      continue
    end
  end
end
