NEAR with parenthesis in secondary query

I’m trying to build a query with my main keywords in the default query (two words in quotes") and then my other keywords with NEAR in the secondary query:

default:
“coca cola”

secondary:
NEAR (light OR diet OR zero)

Would that work or can I use NEAR only “direct” with a keyword, i.e.
“Coca Cola” NEAR light ?

Thanks for your help

Joe

That wouldn’t work but “Coca Cola” NEAR (light OR diet OR zero) should.

Thanks Christian,

that help’s me a lot
