If you have to resolve a card's text fully before the next triggered card follows, then PTL->Experimental Interface chaining stops working. Those cards are well-established to allow interrupting each other before the stress lands.

For example, an A-Wing has Rage, PTL, and EI. He boosts, PTLs a Focus, and before PTL resolves its stress, he Experimentals a Rage. Rage resolves and gives him 2 stress, then EI finishes resolving and gives him 1 stress, and finally PTL finishes resolving and lands him another stress. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's still legit in the current rules right?

This is an example of a trigger interrupting the full resolution of a card. That triggered effect then gets to finish resolving (and anything it triggers) before the first effect resumes. So I agree it's like computer code, except it's like calling into other functions mid-function, pausing the execution of that function until the recursive dive finishes. Then you back up and finish resolving things that were put on pause.
