Thanks, another workaround is to use (f2*f1).post_compose(f3) which also works. The same problem when composing the homogenization of these morphisms. I will add this to trac, unless someone else intervenes :)

Both f3*f2 and f2*f1 work ok, returning > "Composite maps". Also (f3*f2)*(f2*f1) works (not what you want of > course.
