Is there a way to make continue stop the current cycle but instead of going to the next one of this loop, go to the next one of a loop situated higher up (they're nested)?
Going to need the code here, I have no idea what you are trying to do.
A break stops the current loop in all programming languages I know.

This. I actually only rarely have had an use for continue, moreso for break.

That's not what I need. There are a few loops inbetween the current one and the one i need to continue.
Depending on the language, there might be an instruction such as break n; to break out of n loops.
Another possibility is a boolean, that is checked in each loop to decide whether it too should break and reset when the outer loop is reached, or a goto, to just jump to the outer loop.

Is there actually a language which has this, I remember it being discussed in a thread here ages ago but I don't think we ever found a language with it.

I'll stop searching now..
I remember reading something about break and labels, you use it like a goto :label, but insted it's break:label, :label being put at the beginning of the loop you want to break. Let me dig that a little.
