Complex Sentence, which has two or more subordinate clauses, discriminates 2 basic types of subordination arrangement: parallel and consecutive (последовательный).
In the case of parallel subordination clauses immediately refer to one and the same principal clause. Parallel subordination may be both homogeneous and heterogeneous. By heterogeneous parallel subordination clauses mostly refer to different elements in the principal clause and perform different functions.
Ex. The two friends who had fought in the same platoon met by chance at the war veterans meeting which took place yesterday.
Consecutive subordination presents a hierarchy of clausal levels. In this hierarchy one subordinate clause is subordinated to another.
Ex.: He asked me if I thought it possible that I made a mistake when I went up to Edgecombe.
