FROM (((Individual AS IND 

INNER JOIN Ethnicity AS ETH 
    ON IND.EthnicityID = ETH.ID) 

INNER JOIN Education AS EDU 
    ON IND.EducationID = EDU.ID) 

INNER JOIN Marital AS MAR 
    ON IND.Marital = MAR.ID) 

INNER JOIN (((((((Participant AS PAR 

    INNER JOIN Official AS OFR 
        ON PAR.ReferringPO = OFR.ID) 

    INNER JOIN [Class-Participant] AS CXP 
        ON PAR.ID = CXP.ParticipantID) 

    INNER JOIN Class AS CLS 
        ON CXP.ClassID = CLS.ID) 

    INNER JOIN [Participant-Official] AS PXO 
        ON PAR.ID = PXO.ParticipantID) 

    INNER JOIN Official AS OFA 
        ON PXO.OfficialID = OFA.ID) 

    INNER JOIN [Participant-Probation] AS PXP 
        ON PAR.ID = PXP.ParticipantID) 

    INNER JOIN Probation AS PBN 
        ON PXP.ProbationID = PBN.ID) 

 ON IND.APETSID = PAR.APETSID

As you can see, the tables to be joined are grouped together.
