Hi Amit,
It looks like there is some problem while creating paramterized paths
for multi-level partitioned tables. Here's a longish testcase
CREATE TABLE prt1_l (a int, b int, c varchar) PARTITION BY RANGE(a);
CREATE TABLE prt1_l_p1 PARTITION OF prt1_l FOR VALUES START (0) END
(250) PARTITION BY RANGE (b);
CREATE TABLE prt1_l_p1_p1 PARTITION OF prt1_l_p1 FOR VALUES START (0) END (100);
CREATE TABLE prt1_l_p1_p2 PARTITION OF prt1_l_p1 FOR VALUES START
(100) END (250);
CREATE TABLE prt1_l_p2 PARTITION OF prt1_l FOR VALUES START (250) END
(500) PARTITION BY RANGE (c);
CREATE TABLE prt1_l_p2_p1 PARTITION OF prt1_l_p2 FOR VALUES START
('0250') END ('0400');
CREATE TABLE prt1_l_p2_p2 PARTITION OF prt1_l_p2 FOR VALUES START
('0400') END ('0500');
CREATE TABLE prt1_l_p3 PARTITION OF prt1_l FOR VALUES START (500) END
(600) PARTITION BY RANGE ((b + a));
CREATE TABLE prt1_l_p3_p1 PARTITION OF prt1_l_p3 FOR VALUES START
(1000) END (1100);
CREATE TABLE prt1_l_p3_p2 PARTITION OF prt1_l_p3 FOR VALUES START
(1100) END (1200);
INSERT INTO prt1_l SELECT i, i, to_char(i, 'FM0000') FROM
generate_series(0, 599, 2) i;
CREATE TABLE uprt1_l AS SELECT * FROM prt1_l;
CREATE TABLE prt2_l (a int, b int, c varchar) PARTITION BY RANGE(b);
CREATE TABLE prt2_l_p1 PARTITION OF prt2_l FOR VALUES START (0) END
(250) PARTITION BY RANGE (a);
CREATE TABLE prt2_l_p1_p1 PARTITION OF prt2_l_p1 FOR VALUES START (0) END (100);
CREATE TABLE prt2_l_p1_p2 PARTITION OF prt2_l_p1 FOR VALUES START
(100) END (250);
CREATE TABLE prt2_l_p2 PARTITION OF prt2_l FOR VALUES START (250) END
(500) PARTITION BY RANGE (c);
CREATE TABLE prt2_l_p2_p1 PARTITION OF prt2_l_p2 FOR VALUES START

CREATE TABLE prt2_l_p2_p2 PARTITION OF prt2_l_p2 FOR VALUES START
('0400') END ('0500');
CREATE TABLE prt2_l_p3 PARTITION OF prt2_l FOR VALUES START (500) END
(600) PARTITION BY RANGE ((a + b));
CREATE TABLE prt2_l_p3_p1 PARTITION OF prt2_l_p3 FOR VALUES START
(1000) END (1100);
CREATE TABLE prt2_l_p3_p2 PARTITION OF prt2_l_p3 FOR VALUES START
(1100) END (1200);
INSERT INTO prt2_l SELECT i, i, to_char(i, 'FM0000') FROM
generate_series(0, 599, 3) i;
CREATE TABLE uprt2_l AS SELECT * FROM prt2_l;

Let's replace another partitioned table in the inner query with an
unpartitioned table.

ERROR: could not devise a query plan for the given query
Please check if you are able to reproduce these errors in your
repository. I made sure that I cleaned up all partition-wise join code
before testing this, but ... .
I tried to debug the problem somewhat. In set_append_rel_pathlist(),
it finds that at least one child has a parameterized path as the
cheapest path, so it doesn't create an unparameterized path for append
rel. At the same time there is a parameterization common to all the
children, so it doesn't create any path. There seem to be two problems
here
1. The children from second level onwards may not be getting
parameterized for lateral references. That seems unlikely but
possible.
2. Reparameterization should have corrected this, but
reparameterize_path() does not support AppendPaths.
