What you have to do is this:
(assuming you're using variables temp1 and temp2)
IIF(condition, DE("#evaluate('temp1')#"), DE("#evaluate('temp2')#"))
By using evaluate, it doesn't try to pass the undefined variable in as a
parameter to the function, but when it hits the DE(), it does an evaluate()
and displays the contents of the variable anyway.

This isn't what you want to hear, but, FWIW I've had exactly the same thing
and ended up using CFIF. Annoying, but I couldn't figure out how to code the
Iif so that it didn't throw the error when it hit the undefined variable,
even if you put the undefined variable in the last part (what's the right
term?) of the Iif function.
