st: Overlapping Loops

I am trying to write two over lapping "foreach" loops however I keep
getting an invalid syntax error. I don't know why but I am guessing it
is because of the local macro in the first loop is not recognized in
the second loop. This is the code I am trying to run.
forvalues i = 1/17 {
gen ceo_photo`i'=0 if photo`i'==1
forvalues j=1/numberofpeople`i' {
replace ceo_photo`i'=1 if ceo == name`j'_photo`i' & ceo_photo`i'==0
}
}
Your help would be greatly appreciated,
Bader
