Description: Laravel 8 is compiling conditional statements and loops out of order from what is written in the blade templates.

Steps To Reproduce: Follow the Laracasts series Laravel 8 From Scratch

@props(['posts'])

@if($posts === null || isset($posts) || empty($posts))


    <x-post-feature-card :post="$posts->first()" />
    @if($posts->count() >1)
        <div class="lg:grid lg:grid-cols-6">
            @foreach($posts->skip(1) as $post)
                <x-post-card :post="$post" class="{{ $loop->iteration < 3 ? 'col-span-3' : 'col-span-2' }}"/>
            @endforeach
        </div>
    @endif
@else
    <p class="text-center">No Posts yet. Come back later!</p>
@endif

Above is the blade tmeplate code, below is the compiled version

<?php $attributes = $attributes->exceptProps(['posts']); ?>
<?php foreach (array_filter((['posts']), 'is_string', ARRAY_FILTER_USE_KEY) as $__key => $__value) {
    $$__key = $$__key ?? $__value;
} ?>
<?php $__defined_vars = get_defined_vars(); ?>
<?php foreach ($attributes as $__key => $__value) {
    if (array_key_exists($__key, $__defined_vars)) unset($$__key);
} ?>
<?php unset($__defined_vars); ?>

<?php if($posts === null || isset($posts) || empty($posts)): ?>


    <?php if (isset($component)) { $__componentOriginalc254754b9d5db91d5165876f9d051922ca0066f4 = $component; } ?>
<?php $component = $__env->getContainer()->make(Illuminate\View\AnonymousComponent::class, ['view' => 'components.post-feature-card','data' => ['post' => $posts->first()]]); ?>
<?php $component->withName('post-feature-card'); ?>

There is more in the compiled version but you get the idea.
