passive voice - What are the differences between these usages of causative 'have'?


Hello I would like an explanation on this usage of have as I believe it can be used as a passive, talking about things that have happened to you not just as a causative which means that you caused for something to be done.


Examples:



1.She was having her wall being painted.

2.She was having her wall be painted.
3.She was having her wall painted.
4.She had her wall being painted.
5.She had her wall painted.
6.She had her wall be painted.



Are they all correct and are there any differences regarding them being a continuous action or a quick one?



1.She was having herself being operated.
2.She was having herself be operated.

3.She had herself be operated.
4.She was having herself operated.
5.She had herself operated.
6.She had herself being operated.



Same for these what are the differences? And please let me know if any of these are incorrect.


Thanks in advance.
