Hi,

since
Switch[var2,0,(result=3),1,(result=4)];

is executed *after*
Switch[var1,0,(result=1),1,(result=2)];
it will always win because you mean something like

If[changed[var1],
   Switch[var1, 0, (result = 1), 1, (result = 2)]
];
If[changed[var2],
   Switch[var2, 0, (result = 3), 1, (result = 4)]
];

Regards
   Jens
