Well - just to clarify what TSref says: Technically they do exactly the same: Set an "end" to all previous conditions and return to the "global" scope.
So you can safely use "global" to end the "else" condition as well.

BUT: There is still a difference between "end" and "global" because "global" is the only condition that can be used within curly braces.
This comes in handy when you want to do something like in the example.

temp.whatever = TEXT

[condition1]
temp.whatever {
    value = 1 

[condition2]
temp.whatever {
    value = 2

[global]
    wrap = <h2>|</h2>
}

This won't work with "end" unless you rewrite it a bit:

temp.whatever = TEXT
temp.whatever {
    wrap = <h2>|</h2>
}

[condition1]
temp.whatever {
    value = 1 
}

[condition2]
temp.whatever {
    value = 2
}

[end]
