For any level of nesting of subqueries, for example:
select au_lname, au_fname
from authors
where au_id in
(select au_id
from titleauthor
where title_id in
(select title_id
from titles
where type = "popular_comp") )
For multiple subqueries in the outer query, for example:
select title, type
from titles
where title in
(select title
from titles, titleauthor, authors
where titles.title_id = titleauthor.title_id
and titleauthor.au_id = authors.au_id
and authors.state = "CA")
and title in
(select title
from titles, publishers
where titles.pub_id = publishers.pub_id
and publishers.state = "CA")
