Thanks for your question.

Here are the details about the question.

  1. On hostA, I export a directory <dirA>.
  2. I mount this dirA on hostB at mount point <dirB>.
  3. Can I export <dirB> to any other host like hostC?
4

why not mount dirA at hostC?

Simple answer is no .
But you can write fuse gateway an re-export directory , or you can use products like Acopia
