[lojban-beginners] Logical connectives

I'm wondering about the meaning of bridi that have eks in more than one 
place. Consider the following bridi:

(1) la alis e la djan pinxe loi tcati a loi ckafi

Section 14.6 of the refgram tells me that they can be "transformed into a 
logical connection between sentences that expresses the same truth 
function". The question is, which of the eks has to be transformed into an 
ijek first? So far, there seem to be two possible transformations that 
express different truth functions:

(2) la alis pinxe loi tcati a loi ckafi .ije la djan pinxe loi tcati a loi 
ckafi

(3) la alis e la djan pinxe loi tcati .ija la alis e la djan pinxe loi ckafi

Assume that Alice drinks tea and John drinks coffee. Then (2) is true but 
(3) is false. So at most one of the transformations can be valid. Which one 
is it?
