If A redirects to B and you now add a new redirect such that B redirects to C you should now go back and alter A so that it redirects directly to C. This avoids the A -> B -> C redirection chain.

This is my understanding too. In fact, I have some of these redirect, and they go in one hit. This is why I was puzzled by lucy24's post.
