0 < i,j,k,l < 3 means that each of i,j,k,l must be either 1 or 2.
I assume you want 0 <= i,j,k,l <= 3.

I assume that i=E2=89 j=E2=89 k=E2=89 l means  Unequal[i,j,k,l],
not merely  Unequal[i,j] && Unequal[j,k] && Unequal[k,l].

I assume that i=E2=89 j=k=E2=89 l means  Unequal[i,j,l] && Equal[j,k],
and similarly for the conditions 3 and 4.

Condition 1 is straightforward:

 Permutations@Range[0,3]

 {{0,1,2,3},{0,1,3,2},{0,2,1,3},{0,2,3,1},{0,3,1,2},{0,3,2,1},
  {1,0,2,3},{1,0,3,2},{1,2,0,3},{1,2,3,0},{1,3,0,2},{1,3,2,0},
  {2,0,1,3},{2,0,3,1},{2,1,0,3},{2,1,3,0},{2,3,0,1},{2,3,1,0},
  {3,0,1,2},{3,0,2,1},{3,1,0,2},{3,1,2,0},{3,2,0,1},{3,2,1,0}}

Condition 2 is more convoluted:

 Join@@Permutations/@Subsets[Range[0,3],{3}]/.{a_,b_,c_}->{a,b,b,c}

 {{0,1,1,2},{0,2,2,1},{1,0,0,2},{1,2,2,0},{2,0,0,1},{2,1,1,0},
  {0,1,1,3},{0,3,3,1},{1,0,0,3},{1,3,3,0},{3,0,0,1},{3,1,1,0},
  {0,2,2,3},{0,3,3,2},{2,0,0,3},{2,3,3,0},{3,0,0,2},{3,2,2,0},
  {1,2,2,3},{1,3,3,2},{2,1,1,3},{2,3,3,1},{3,1,1,2},{3,2,2,1}}

For condition 3, change {a,b,b,c} to {a,b,c,c}.
For condition 4, change {a,b,b,c} to {a,b,c,b}.
