Two things:
1) These aren't "conditional clearances"; they're instructions. Clearances are specified as such i.e. Cleared for take off, cleared to land, cleared to RCTP via Ocean2B V3 transition....
2) These conditional instructions (that you've stated) are safe due to them specifying specifically what to do and when; behind the landing traffic, behind the departing 7##
Where is the confusion?
