  3. Shulchan Aruch 480:1; Mishna Brurah 474:1-4 explains that the reasoning of Rama reflects the Rama’s own view that saying Maggid serves as an interruption to the berakhah rishonah, or his view that each cup serves as its own mitzvah and consequently requires its own berakhah. The Shulchan Arukh, on the other hand, maintains that although each cup is its own mitzvah, because one knows when making the berakhah on the first cup that there will be a second cup, no berakhah is necessary on the second cup. However, even according to the Shulchan Arukh, one makes a berakhah on the third cup because Birkhat HaMazon is an interruption between the berakhah on the first cup and the drinking of the third cup.
