Research direction

Start by locating the current join API and the type-checking path for ON conditions; compare how one join is represented with the requested chained form. Done means several joins can be expressed in sequence without ON-condition type failures and the resulting code is more readable.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently there is no way to call several joins in chain. (ON condition fails to work with types)
It makes code much less readable because of hard-to-read variables names.
