Tested:

\starttext

\startcombination[1*2]
        \startcombination[2*1]
                {1}{(1)}
                {2}{(2)}
        \stopcombination
        {3}{(3)}
\stopcombination

\startcombination[2*1]
        \startcombination[2*1]
                {1}{(1)}
                {2}{(2)}
        \stopcombination
        {3}{(3)}
\stopcombination

\stoptext


The first appears to give a reasonable result,
but the second gives exactly the same as the first.
I do not believe that combinations can be recursive...
