Damage Taken Conversions

Dear GGG,

I have a question I need clarification on:

Assuming I have damage taken from physical from hits as fire damage and as cold damage from taste of hate and clock of flame. Now 40% of physical will be taken as fire and 15% as cold. Now, assuming I have 50% of damage taken from lighting and cold timeless jewel be taken as fire.

Will the portion of the physical damage taken as cold will also be taken as fire? and assuming I have incandescent heart will hits be taken from both fire and cold as Chaos? I know it is not possible to wear clock of flame and incandescent heart but it is just for the clarification purposes.

Thank you,

AFAIK and I could be wrong on this because these rules are fairly nebulous, damage taken can only be converted once due to taking place simultaneously.

So if you take 50% of phys as fire, and 50% of fire is taken as cold when you get hit by phys damage you still only take fire, you'll only see the 50% of fire taken as cold when you are hit by fire damage in the first place.

This is to prevent things like you are suggesting I think where you'd take extra damage from converting or try to convert damage that doesn't exist. As a result just total up any modifiers you have to a damage type and only apply one step to them, it won't let you do 2 steps.
