More generally...

TCL wants to see control structures all on one line, and there are weird exceptions to that... keep pluggin, you'll get used to it

The way I think of it is that a newline ends a tcl command, except inside a pair of {}. So unless you are inside a {} pair, a newline will cause tcl to attempt parse the statement, whether it is complete or not.

Also you can of course escape the newline with a backslash to continue a line.
