Any one sketch can only have one function in it called loop.
To combine two sketches see this link:-

what i am trying to figure out is weather when the if statment consering select is activated, do i need to totay back out of the loop to run the next loop or can i run a second loop within the 1st loop?
you need to work on the wording of this as well.
You can't back out of a loop. You can run one loop inside another but by loop I mean a looping statement like a 'for' or a 'while' not a function called loop. You can't define a function inside another function.
