Bad day !! test condition failed --need a one liner to do --help

Hi all this is simple but bad day for me nothing work out ..

Problem is that I wan to check the argument passed to my script and accordignly exit or setup ENV variable

I have a script name src_cpcp_preproc.sh
i want to pass 2 argumet from command line argumet and check it in the script on following way :

src_cpcp_preproc.sh cpc P #P -for production,Q-qa and D-for development so $2 could be either of these three

I want to write a one liner which can check the three condition in a if statement

condition are if $# is less then 2 && either one of $2 is not P || Q || D then i should quit !
else i should set envment variable .

I had written if[ ($# -lt 2) && ("$2" -ne "P" ) ||("$2" -ne "Q") || ("$2" -ne D)]
then
echo "Use : ...."
exit 11
fi

Tell me where i am wrong ?

motd.tail

MOTD.TAIL(5)						   Debian Administrator's Manual					      MOTD.TAIL(5)

NAME

       motd.tail - Template for building the system message of the day

DESCRIPTION

       On Debian systems, the system message of the day is rebuilt at each startup, in order to display an accurate information. /etc/motd.tail is
       the file to edit permanent changes to the message of the day.

OVERVIEW

       The initiation script /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh prepends a line containing information about the system  to  /etc/motd.tail  and  stores  the
       resulting  file in /var/run/motd. /etc/motd is a symbolic link to /var/run/motd.  This is done to prevent changes to /etc as the system can
       not assume /etc to be writable.

       Changes to /etc/motd effectively end up in a file under /var/run which will be regenerated upon reboot.

       A symbolic link to a different file, such as /etc/motd.static disables this behaviour.

FILES

       /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
	      The initiation script which builds /var/run/motd

       /etc/motd
	      Symbolic link to the system message of the day at /var/run/motd

       /etc/motd.tail
	      Template for building the system message of the day

       /var/run/motd
	      System message of the day file rebuilt at each computer start
