In BIAB, the chorus of the song is defined as the whole song. You see three numbers at the top. The first number indicates where the song starts (because you can have an intro of any number of measures); the second number indicates where the song ends; and the third number indicates how many times to repeat the song between the first and second numbers entered. The defaults are 1, 32, 3 (start at bar 1, play 32 bars, and repeat three times.
So the first chorus would be the first time through; the middle chorus would be the second time through, and the last chorus would be the third time through (using the default settings).
If instead you framed your song as 5, 36, 4; that means your song has a four bar intro (bars 1-4) and starts on bar 5. The song runs until bar 36 and repeats bars 5 through 36 four times. In that case the first chorus is the first time through; the middle chorus(es) are the second and third time through, and the last chorus is the fourth time through.
Now what lots of folks do is just enter their song linearly, starting at the beginning and writing every verse one after the other. When you do this, you usually just set your song to start at bar 1 and end after the last verse and only repeat 1 time. When you do this, the concept of first, middle, and last verses don't apply (except for the first verse), because there is only one verse.
There is also a command to take a song that uses multiple verses and unfold it into one long continuous song that repeats only one time:
Edit | Song Form | Unfold
This will take the default 1, 32, 3 and change it to 1, 96, 1.
Hope this helps.
