Depends. Give us your line of code.

+ Code Snippet

if ((x-(screen width()/2)) >= (object position x(i))-10 and (x-(screen width()/2)) <= (object position x(i))+10) and (((0-y)+(screen height()/2)) >= (object position y(i))-10 and ((0-y)+(screen height()/2)) <= (object position y(i))+10)

When you have a long string of ands in an if statement, you can break them down into multiply if's.

+ Code Snippet

if ((x-(screen width()/2)) >= (object position x(i))-10
   if (x-(screen width()/2)) <= (object position x(i))+10)
      if (((0-y)+(screen height()/2)) >= (object position y(i))-10
         if ((0-y)+(screen height()/2)) <= (object position y(i))+10)
            do something
         endif
       endif
   endif
endif

If (as I suspect) DB and DBPro do not use shortcut evaluation, then this might even be faster than the one line method.
