Error within Where statement in LINQ

Solution
Make sure you put each `where` clause in its own line per Microsoft guidelines.
The where clause applies a filter to the results, often using a Boolean expression. The filter specifies which elements to exclude from the source sequence. Each where clause can only contain conditions against a single entity type. A composite condition involving multiple entities is not valid. Instead, each entity should be filtered in separate where clauses.
var linqQuery = from r in gServiceContext.CreateQuery("opportunity")
join c in gServiceContext.CreateQuery("account") on ((EntityReference)r["accountid"]).Id equals c["accountid"]
join u in gServiceContext.CreateQuery("systemuser") on ((EntityReference)r["ownerid"]).Id equals u["systemuserid"]
where r["new_leadstatus"].Equals("100000004")
where u["lastname"].Equals(rsmLastName) && u["firstname"].Equals(rsmFirstName)
select new
{
AccountId = !r.Contains("accountid") ? string.Empty : r["accountid"],
Account = !r.Contains("name") ? string.Empty : r["name"]
};
Problem
For some reason in my where it says that "firstname" does not exist in the Opportunity Entity. But it is set for the SystemUser Entity. Any idea why it is getting confused? Thanks! ``` var linqQuery = (from r in gServiceContext.CreateQuery("opportunity") join c in gServiceContext.CreateQuery("account") on ((EntityReference)r["accountid"]).Id equals c["accountid"] join u in gServiceContext.CreateQuery("systemuser") on ((EntityReference)r["ownerid"]).Id equals u["systemuserid"] where r["new_leadstatus"].Equals("100000004") && u["lastname"].Equals(rsmLastName) && u["firstname"].Equals(rsmFirstName) select new { AccountId = !r.Contains("accountid") ? string.Empty : r["accountid"], Account = !r.Contains("name") ? string.Empty : r["name"] }); ```
