excuse me...

   (A1*(A2*(..(An * p)...)))

but the point is that if An is the first transformation and A1 is the last 
then the point p should be transformed accordingly. (i'm pretty sure the 
above would result in a recursion of...

    [a c e] [x]
    [b d f] [y]
    [0 0 1] [1]

...which is defined, but correct me if i'm wrong; i abhor matricies).
