It's not easy to convert this to the new syntax.

One close solution would be:

:start;
repeat
  :step1;
  :step2;
  :step3;
repeat while (successful?) -> false
-> true;
repeat
  :step4;
  :step5;
repeat while (successful?) -> false
:step6;
stop

But that's not exactly your example.

The difficulty is that the new activity beta syntax is close to usual C/Java/C#/VB/Python/C++ language.

Implementing your example (especially the link back to step3 ) with those languages is not that easy, because it breaks execution flow.
