Well, I always regarded an alliance to be a multilateral agreement. 1+2+3 are allied instead of 1+2 and 2+3. In my mind the friend of a friend is only my friend when I make an active decision about it.

In the game, there is always an alliance with ONE race. The union of 1 and 2 does not mean that allies 1 SHOULD form an alliance with 2, does it? That's why I suggest you formulate requirements that can be unambiguously interpreted and controlled. because the personal opinion of an individual player is not the rule.
