The code snipped is incomplete - I don't know what kind of looping 
constructs contain these conditional tests. But I'm guessing you have a 
syntax error with your prefix type here. Is this contained within an 
[item-list][loop][/loop][/item-list] or 
[search-list][loop][/loop][/search-list] or any other looping construct 
with the 'item' prefix which in turn contains a [loop] construct? If not, 
then you want:

[if-loop-field active_flag]
         [if-loop-data options o_modular]
                 [page [loop-code]]
         [else]
                 [order [loop-code]]
         [/else]
         [/if-loop-data]
         <img src="__THEME_IMG_DIR__buynow.gif" border="0" align="top"></a>
[/if-loop-field]
