I believe the action is bound to the production, so:

a: b { CODE_B } | c { CODE_C } | { CODE_ELSE }

means that CODE_B will be run when b matches, and CODE_C will be run
when c matches.  CODE_ELSE will be run if b and c fail to match.

If you want to have an action run for all the subrules, you can make
those subrules a rule and associate an action with it.
