question about the for loop

[cbv]

When debugging I noticed what happens around this construct:
for(something) if(something) do something;
do something else;

The second is interpreted as part of the loop, which contradicts what I thought previously: the loop is terminated with the first semicolon unless there are braces present.
I fixed it thus:
for(something) {if(something) do something;}
do something else;

but am still wondering why it acts that way, and whether the if expression has something to do with it.
