Your definition

>Let E and M be two classes of morphisms in a category C.
>(E,M) is a factorisation system of C if and only if
>the four following properties hold:
>
>1. every morphism f in C can be factored as f=me with m in M and e in E,
>2. if e is a morphism in E and m is a morphism in M then e is orthogonal
>to m,
>3. if i is an iso left composable to e in E, then ie is in E,
>4. if i is an iso right composable to m in M, then mi is in M.

seems to be precisely the definition used in
Adamek, Herrlich, Strecker: Abstract and Concrete Categories.

Check their Chapter 14! 
AHS 14.6 shows in particular that E and M will be closed under
composition.
