When you use the corresponding custom rule keyword in the rules file, the arguments are interpreted in sequence. The sequence starts after the keyword and ends before the next && or begin script, whichever comes first.

To improve clarity and organization, define all probe functions first, at the top of the file, followed by all comparison functions.
