Of course. You can chain comparisons as much as you like and is
(semi-)sensible, e.g.

assert 0 < thing_index < thing_count <= UTTER_MAX_NTHINGS

There was an interesting use of chained comparison within the last day
or 2 in a thread about deriving a set of duplicated list elements --
look for subject == "finding items that occur more than once in a
list" and author == "Arnaud Delobelle".
