Grammar

using must and if

0 Hello, 02br
00I was curious if it is correct to use if and must together. I recall from my former English grammar books that when using "If", "must" should not be used, except some set phrases. 02br
02br
00Can someone post a link on the proper use of these together?02br
02br
00Any help will be appreciated. 0-
