The lets are evaluated from inner-most to outer; but the before are evaluated from outer to inner. With rspec-given the point is to use When as just the bit of code that's "under test". All of the Givens are pre-conditions or setup. That's one of the things I like most about rspec-given, it separates setup code from code under test. The other thing I like about it is the brevity of the individual tests. I find the description on it blocks often quite redundant with the code in the block. I like how Then removes that duplication. Another benefit of rspec-given is that is has natural language failures built in. That's pretty cool.
