Spindle Law's Evidence Module has material about chains of inference, or inference-on-inference or -- in other words -- pyramided or cascaded inference. (The diagram found above shows that credibility analysis -- assessment of the credibility of a witness -- involves pyramided inferences, inference-on-inference. And this shows that the notion that testimonial evidence is non-circumstantial evidence is mush.)
It's here (more or less): the law of evidence on Spindle Law. See also this post.
