Hi,

in mathematica you rearly need loops. Instead you do things with 

operators. Note that names can not start with an integer. Therefore I 

call your 1DArrayVar = one and your 2DArrayCon= two.

First we need to assemble the rows of two that one indicates. This is 

easily done:

res1=two[[one]]

Now we need to assemble all possible tuples having the the first element 

from the first row, second element from second row:

res2= Tuples[res1]

Now we have all the requested arguments and map the function TEST onto them:

Apply[TEST,res2,2] or shorter:

TEST @@@ res2

Everything together on on line:

TEST @@@ Tuples[ two[[one]] ]



hope this helps, Daniel
