Thanks. I get these sorts of errors:
vtkPVCompositeDataPipeline (0x2a831a0): Algorithm vtkFastMarcher(0x2a80860) 
returned failure for request: vtkInformation (0x339b0f0

Before RequestData is reached...

Subject: Re: [Paraview] vtkDataSet algorithm that takes composite data set as 
input
 

Try something like this.
In this case the mapper takes in either type, which you may or may not want.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
int vtkCompositePolyDataMapper2::FillInputPortInformation(
  int vtkNotUsed(port), vtkInformation* info)
{
  info->Set(vtkAlgorithm::INPUT_REQUIRED_DATA_TYPE(), "vtkPolyData");
  info->Append(vtkAlgorithm::INPUT_REQUIRED_DATA_TYPE(), "vtkCompositeDataSet");
  return 1;
}
