    Let $$x,y\in (0,1]$$, and let $A,B,C$ be disjoint nonempty stable subsets of a graph $$G$$, where every vertex in $$A$$ has at least $x|B|$ neighbours in $$B$$, and every vertex in $$B$$ has at least $y|C|$ neighbours in $$C$$, and there are no edges between $A,C$. We denote by $$\phi(x,y)$$ the maximum $$z$$ such that, in all such graphs $$G$$, there is a vertex $$v\in C$$ that is joined to at least $z|A|$ vertices in $$A$$ by two-edge paths. This function has some interesting properties: we show, for instance, that $$\phi(x,y)=\phi(y,x)$$ for all $x,y$, and there is a discontinuity in $$\phi(x,x)$$ when $1/x$ is an integer. For $z=1/2, 2/3,1/3,3/4,2/5,3/5$, we try to find the (complicated) boundary between the set of pairs $(x,y)$ with $$\phi(x,y)\ge z$$ and the pairs with $$\phi(x,y)1/3$.
