Apparently I don't understand full outer joins....

I run this:

select
coalesce(a.n,0) as a,
coalesce(b.n,0) as b,
coalesce(a.s,b.s) as s
from
( select 1 as n, 0 as s) a full outer join
( select 2 as n, 1 as s) b
on
a.s = b.s

... and get this:

a | b | s
---+---+---
1 | 0 | 0
0 | 2 | 1
(2 rows)

Perfect! Now, I try to extend my understanding to 3 subselects:

select
coalesce(a.n,0) as a,
coalesce(b.n,0) as b,
coalesce(c.n,0) as c,
coalesce(a.s,b.s,c.s) as s
from
( select 1 as n, 0 as s) a full outer join
( select 1 as n, 1 as s) b full outer join
( select 2 as n, 2 as s) c
on
a.s = b.s and
b.s = c.s

.... and get a syntax error at the end of my query. Apparently what I'm
trying to do doesn't make sense?

Oh, this is on version 7.4, if that makes a difference.
