Such problems are best solved by creating a data model that represents the logic you want; i.e. you need to change the script. In your example, the solution is probably to create a third field "Branch" that contains the values of both "Branch1" and "Branch2":

Load <SomeAppropriateKey>, Branch1 as Branch Resident ...
Load <SomeAppropriateKey>, Branch2 as Branch Resident ...
