sparql query: get several values from a List - sparql

Question

My query returns result dependent on which one of two sparql OPTIONS clauses come first for a List of Images. Although using Jena ARQ is not an option at this point, and I'd like to solve this with a pure SPARQL query, still I'd like to know how it could be solved with Jena as well.
My data presentation is attached below, the data may contain a list of images. My image representation is also below. I'm attaching my query as well.
The sprql query has two variables urlX, and urlY declared in the 2 OPTIONS blocks, if a List of images exists. Depending on which of the OPTIONS comes first, I get the value for that one variable, while the other one doesn't get reached. It seems the issue has to do with using OPTIONS clause. I'm not sure what else I can try instead, I'm far from being an expert on sparql queries. I want the query to do the following: if a collection of images is present, I want to see if both image sizes (dc:conformsTo) are present and get both urlX and urlY values, or get the ones that exist. Much appreciate your time.

If I understood correctly what it is you want, you just need to group the optionals differently:
PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/>
PREFIX mrss: <http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/>
PREFIX search: <http://www.openrdf.org/contrib/lucenesail#>
PREFIX xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#>
PREFIX lews: <http://abcnews.com/content/>
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
SELECT ?id ?title ?description ?urlX ?urlY ?section ?imgName {
?subject dc:identifier ?id.
OPTIONAL { ?subject dc:title ?title. }
OPTIONAL { ?subject dc:description ?description. }
OPTIONAL { ?subject dc:isPartOf ?section. }
OPTIONAL {
?subject dc:hasPart ?imageCol.
?imageCol dc:identifier "Images"^^xsd:token.
OPTIONAL {
?imageCol rdf:li ?bnode.
?bnode rdf:first ?image.
?image lews:name ?imgName;
# Here we optionally bind ?urlX and/or ?urlY
OPTIONAL {
?image dc:conformsTo "4x3";
dc:hasFormat ?urlX.
}
OPTIONAL {
?image dc:conformsTo "16x9";
dc:hasFormat ?urlY.
}
}
}
}
