Not sure what that would mean ... is it ...

  if ( (a >= h || b >= h || c => h) && ((a >= b || b >= b || c => b)))

OR

  if ( (a >= h && a >= b) || (b => h && b >= b) || (c => h && c >= b) )

I think the idea should be kept at one '[...]' group only and one of
'&&','||' per group ( that is ... don't mix && and || inside the [] ).
