How to use two left outer join in a single query?

I was trying to run the follwoing query.It is giving me error

"select woancestor.wonum,wplabor.laborcode, wplabor.quantity,wplabor.laborhrs
from wplabor,workorder left outer join woancestor on workorder.wonum=woancestor.wonum
and wplabor left outer join labtrans on wplabor.laborcode=labtrans.laborcode
where woancestor.ancestor='572099' and workorder.istask=1
and workorder.wonum=wplabor.wonum"

Error is "Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'left'."

But the following query works fine

"select woancestor.wonum,wplabor.laborcode, wplabor.quantity,wplabor.laborhrs
from wplabor,workorder left outer join woancestor on workorder.wonum=woancestor.wonum
where woancestor.ancestor='572099' and workorder.istask=1
and workorder.wonum=wplabor.wonum"

please help me

select woancestor.wonum,wplabor.laborcode,wplabor.quantity,wplabor.laborhrs
from wplabor
inner join workorder on workorder.wonum=wplabor.wonum
left outer join woancestor on workorder.wonum=woancestor.wonum
left outer join labtrans on wplabor.laborcode=labtrans.laborcode
where woancestor.ancestor='572099' and workorder.istask=1
