How to reuse a rule as an action of another rule?

Question

Eg:

Rule1: Check if Person's Country is 'United States'

Rule2: Check if Person's State is 'Washington, D.C.'

Now Rule3 is combination of Rule1 and Rule2

Rule3: if Rule1 then Rule2

here Rule2 is an action that will be executed if Rule1 is true

I know I can achieve this problem by writing If Rule1 and Rule2 then execute Some Action Method, but the main intention behind this question is: I want to execute another rule as an Action. How can I achieve it using CodeEffects?

The use of a rule as rule action is not supported because this could lead to logical issues and hard-to-detect circular dependencies.

Use either Loop or Ruleset mode. Details can be found here

It should be noted that many other business rule products support the feature of inference and chaining of rules. This is often implemented and talked about as backward chaining.

You could also link some examples of those products and point out if CodeEffects supports it or not. – Alberto de Paola Dec 27 '16 at 19:17
The original question has nothing to do with rule chaining – Alex Jun 08 '17 at 14:42
